This is the farmhouse hard cheese I used to make.
I've been going through my old photos and there are several I'll share with you in the coming weeks. I used to make cheese fairly frequently, I loved making it and it was delicious. I haven't made any for a couple of years but that's because I found it difficult getting enough fresh milk rather than I stopped liking it.
It's cold here today and will remain cold over the weekend. We've had rain too so the tanks are full again. I'll be gardening over the weekend, mainly fertilising, pruning and adding sugar cane mulch. How is your garden going? Are there any new gardeners with their first garden this year? I'd love to hear what you're doing.
Thanks for the comments during the week. I love reading your news and each new comment adds to my understanding of you. xx
