Good morning everyone, We hope everyone survived the terrible weekend weather.   It certainly could have been a lot worse, but there were still people badly affected.  We were OK here, at Lake Farm. Our Kitties: Our neighbour is going to take the last feral kitty off our hands.  We will get her spayed before we […]

Good morning everyone, I hope you are all having a great Easter – and are enjoying the extra hour’s sleep with the daylight saving change. Mind you it now feels like winter is here, for sure! Our Feral Cats Well, we finally caught our little grey kitten.  We put out a possum trap every night, […]

Good morning everyone, It was pretty wet north of our farm late last week and over the weekend.  We did get rain, but not a lot, and nothing like up north. At least there was a little overnight. In all honesty, we would have liked a bit more.  We have had no rain for almost […]

Good morning everyone, We hope you have had a great week – and let’s hope this week is even better! The temperature is now dropping overnight and the grass growth is slowing.  This is exacerbated by lack of rain – but I believe there is some rain coming shortly.  Fingers crossed. AT HOME: Our little […]

Good morning everyone, We hope you have all had a great week.  The weather is definitely more settled, but getting colder  at nights. Our two kitties: Our two feral kitties give us so much pleasure.  I can’t believe how loving they are – both little “purring machines”. One of our readers emailed me about two […]

Good morning everyone, We hope you all had a great week – the weather is certainly more settled. We had a fabulous time in the South Island, but we were also very happy to get home.  We missed our animals, and our little kitties! Our two kitties (Ditsy and Sparky) had food left out for […]

Hello from Christchurch! We have had a fabulous week away, tripping around the South Island.  We arrive back on Wednesday, and can’t wait to see our family again – our cattle, horses and our beautiful kitties! Day One – Tuesday:  We flew out last Tuesday to Christchurch, and had most of the afternoon to explore […]

Good morning everyone, I hope everyone has recovered from all the shocking weather we have experienced.  We have never experienced a summer like this in the 20+ years at Lake Farm. We do feel very lucky not to have been badly affected. Our “feral” kittens From an earlier post, you may be aware that we […]

Good morning everyone, Well, we hope everyone is safe after a pretty tumultuous weather week!  It has been pretty scary, and “events” like we are having, are going to be pretty regular, it seems!  Wellington looks terrible this morning! We have had an incredibly rainy summer, and I did an AI search to see if warmer sea […]

Good morning everyone, I hope you have all had a great week, and are looking forward to a fabulous new week ahead. With the better weather, last week, there was a lot more work done on the farm, which we are happy about. But on Saturday we had a day off. Keryn’s brother lives in […]

Hi to everyone out there! We hope you all survived the terrible weather last week.  We had a HUGE amount of rain here – but it did not do too much damage to the farm, thank goodness.  Our heart goes out to all those who really suffered.  Global warming is definitely having an affect! On […]

Good morning everyone, We posted this on Sunday night – as we have an early start on Monday morning HOME STUFF We always have a few stray wild cats round the farm.  We don’t mind too many – it keeps the rabbit population down.  In fact we always leave a plate of cat bickies outside […]

We have been hacked!! Just when we thought we were in retirement mode, some hackers attacked our Facebook advertising agents!! We were advised by them, and we immediately cancelled our credit cards (which was very inconvenient at Christmas).  But then our Gmail and also our Facebook pages were disabled! WOW!!! We have got Gmail back, but […]
