My husband and I live and farm a remote and isolated group of islands in the Falkland Islands. We use a 36 foot steel fishing boat to move between islands. Our lifestyle is pretty much self sufficient. We have a wind turbine for power our own veg gardens and 5,000 sheep that we farm for fine wool and fat lamb.

Accounts and drafting
Spent the afternoon doing accounts ready for the tax returns. Started drafting sheep at 4pm, finished at 7:30pm. Sheep and lambs ran through the race well with a little help from a very hard headed Kelpie/Hunterway, year old bitch. Not surprising then that I now have a slightly sore throat. Now waiting to hear if the shearers have been rained off or if we can still expect them on Wednesday. Last jobs of the day. Feed 7 hungry one month old pups and two pet lambs.
