Partners in crime. These two lambs looked like they had been up to no good as they walked out sheepishly – no pun intended – from under the farm machinery.

Blue Eggs
Esparragosa de Lares, Spain
A rural holiday wouldn’t be complete without a farm trip. We took off into the outskirts – a 7-minute walk! – to D’s cousin’s farm. I was excited about seeing the animals, city-dweller that I am. There were just-born baby geese, hens a-hatching, roosters strutting, chickens running away from humans and curious lambs wondering why we were hanging about.
D’s cousin gave us freshly laid eggs which had a blue-ish tinge. Apparently, they are no-cholesterol eggs, although I haven’t been able to verify that. Anybody know?

Milking Sheep at the Grandvewe Cheesery
After a long, winding, and very confusing road, we finally arrived at the farm on the Grandvewe Cheesery in Middleton, Tasmania. The family went in to the restaurant to sample the sheep cheese. After that we had a yummy dessert of sheep ice-cream – it was EWEnique! And the adults slurped up some cheesy alcoholic beverages.
After filling our stomachs, we went outside to the shed and to empty the sheep’s udders of milk. We used giant milking machines that stuck to their udders and had a milking competition to see who could get the most milk – Chocolate Milk Cow won (his sheep had the biggest udder with almost a litre of milk!)
