Since this page was set up - AJ has killed Mr Blue and claimed the Harem; Zoe the little lamb died; Eloise Grey-Toes found a new beau and had chicks of her own; we lost Ebony; the kingfisher seems to be doing really well, but the goldfish aren't; Evan has done dozens of new tools; Pale Face is still going strong, though not allowed to lamb again at 13yo; and we have more free range turkeys!

But these were the photos of just ONE day - a good example of LIFE at Ridgeland.
September 2008 and lambing is all but over, just two ewes to go.  The hills are alive and its wonderful.  Here is a selection of events over the last week, as seen through the lens...


The morning after Jamie Oliver's program on 'Foul Food' aired on NZ TV - this scene unfolded before us.

  And still there is more.  Eloise-WHITE-Toes has been sitting on eggs for 28 days, finally we have five little turkey poults to help her raise.
