December 2020: New grandchild and Christmas

James and Jenny had a new baby boy this month called Austin or Buster (as Violet calls him). Work continues in the Mandala using sheep wool on the vegetable and herb patches to protect the area for the Winter and minimize the growth of weeds. The fruit bushes were all pruned and the fruit cage weeded. The polytunnel cleaning of pots and the floor was finally finished. Christmas was quiet with the family at home.
