Our Finnish HelpXer Eveliina grooms and trains cows for agricultural shows as a hobby. She likes to groom other animals as well, and gave Coco a beautiful summer trim. Coco looks so pretty and sweet now!

For outstanding services to us and our farm, I made a beanie for PJ, and then one for Clem. I sent it to Newman (WA) where they were working and she sent me this photo.

They got in their car to leave, then suddenly stopped and got back out. They had forgotten to say goodbye to the doggies!

Me and my new darling friends, just before they left. BIG thumbs up!

Clem, William and PJ. They discovered they had a mutual close friend. William knew him when he lived in France, and they knew him when he lived in Noumea, New Caldeonia. They took this photo for him.

It's always hard to see good friends leave, even if you have only known them for three weeks. These two were exceptional HelpXers - as workers, as human beings, as friends.

Our pile of finished charcuterie / salumi: 14 Calabrese salami (each a foot long), 7 Venetian garlic salami, 4 coppacolli, 2 pancetti, and 2 prosciuttii (still in salt in a tub below). We also made a mountain of fresh Italian-style sausages for frying, three head brawns, 14 bottles of concentrated stock from the bones (or "bone broth" as it is curiously known these days), 2 huge hams, a pile of bacon, a mass of pork paté, a mountain of marinaded ribs, and... I'm sure I have forgotten something...

Our first finished pancetta. It's the size of a baby! We decided to keep it simple and only put paprika powder on the inside before rolling it up, and crushed pepper on the outside.

Putting the finished pancetta through Agan's pipe into the elastic netting. We double netted (to be sure, to be sure).

The pancetta rolled up in collagen paper, and tied tightly with string.
