With spring rain, there's spring grass.  And plenty of it.  But at last a clear spring day.  And some blue sky from time to time, even.  Tick.  

On the road again, off to visit Salty River Farm, and Louise, who with husband Daryn and their two sons, are some of New Zealand's fantastic artisan farmers.  A place where the grass on the hill was aplenty, with roaming goats, Jeanie the lovely bearded collie, and quite a few chooks.  Yes, farmed goats, here in New Zealand, no kidding.
