Have you missed me?

I just found out that I broke my RSS feed in January, so readers in Bloglovin and Feedly have a bit of catching up to do!




Here's what you may have missed.  I think its all fixed no and I'll stop fiddling with it, so you should keep seeing my posts again :)

    I wondered what had happened to you, Liz. I follow your posts in my Reading List in the Blogger Dashboard but they are all coming through loud and clear now :-)

    Oh I thought it was just me! I had to go physically looking for your posts, so I didn't miss any, thankfully. I don't know what RSS is, but I'm glad it's sorted anyway. I'm lurking here Liz, but sorry about the lack of comment from me. It's enough to turn on my laptop a couple nights a week, without having to find sensible words to put together; such is the busy-ness and then exhaustion of my life of late. Retirement is around the corner, and I'm dreaming of all the things I'll catch up on then.

Chicken tractor guest post

Sign up for my weekly email updates here , you will find out more about chickens, soap and our farmlife, straight to your inbox, never miss a post!  New soap website and shop opening soon.... Tanya from Lovely Greens invited me to write a guest post on chicken tractors for her blog.  I can't believe how many page views I get for chicken tractors, they seem to be a real area of interest and I hope that the information on my blog has helped people.  I find that when I use something everyday, I forget the details that other people may not be aware of, so in this post for Tanya, I tried to just write everything I could think of that I haven't covered in previous posts.  I tried to explain everything we do and why, so that people in other locations and situations can figure out how best to use chicken tractors with their own chickens. The dogs like to hang out behind the chicken tractors and eat chicken poo.  Dogs are gross! If you want to read more about chicken tractor

How to make soap with beer (and tallow)

I may  have mentioned this before.... soap making is addictive!  Once you start, you just want to keep making more soap.  And not the same soap, you want to try all sorts of different soaps.  I made the mistake of joining a facebook group called Saponification Nation  and now my facebook newsfeed is full of glorious soaps, in all colours and shapes, which makes it even harder to resist the urge to experiment.  One soap that kept popping up a few weeks ago was soap made with beer. I generally prefer not to use ingredients just for the sake of it, I like to know that they are adding something to the properties of the finished soap.   As you know, I don't like to use artificial ingredients either (colours or fragrances).   When I read about beer in soap I found out that beer adds sugar to the mixture, which increases lather.  I use tallow in my soap, which has limited lather, so anything that adds lather could improve the soap.  It also contributes a tan or brown colour to
