They are now back in the herd and Ace is Panda’s main playmate, in the absence of any other calves. He seems happy to oblige – and to provide baby-sitting services while Annie is off grazing.

Dan has started cheese making again. He made paneer this week and has started the first Camembert – or Camembarry, as we call our own version.
