Well, that's one way of putting it!! Glad you're doing well. )

I've just sent 2 skins to be
'organically' cured and can't wait to get them back!

How is that going to be done? I have a Kerry Hill and a coloured skin
(can't
remember the breed) which need doing.

I don't know, actually!! I had 2 large lambs butchered a couple of weeks
ago and the slaughterman knows a guy who sends his down south to be done
organically, so he took mine to send with this other guy's. He's coming on
Saturday to do 2 geese for me, for Christmas, so I'll ask him for more
details and let you know. I do know the charge is £17 each, which I thought
was very good. Have you salted yours already? The best thing to do is salt
them straight away and then you can store them for as long as you like in an
airtight bag, until you're ready to have them done. Mind you, I think they
can still 'bring them back' even if they've gone stiff. I'll get back to
you when I know more.

Keep well,
