And then this happened... #blackcattruffles #truffles

This is on our #bucketlist for next year - life begins again! #blackcattruffles #truffles #trufflelife

Spent a wonderful weekend with the new custodians of #blackcattruffles - they have so much energy and enthusiasm, it’s gonna be great working with Tom and Kristen! Next level coming right up! WooHoo! #truffles

Such dedication - they even have their own Black Cat!! #truffles #blackcattruffles

The first run for The Penguin - a whole new life of adventuring starts now! #blackcattruffles #truffles

Wasn’t going to, but decided that a nee straning post was in order for the new fence enclosing the #summertruffles Old post just wasn’t in line and it looked “wrong”. #truffles #blackcattruffles #trufflemaintenance

The days jobs done - time for an #aperolspritz - #lavieenrose #blackcattruffles #truffles #trufflemaintenance

Slowlee, slowlee, catchee monkee... taking its sweet time but progress is palpable. Tomorrow, the gate maybe... #blackcattruffles #truffles #trufflemaintenance #needadrink

Got a crew in to clean up the windbreak trees and they are smashing it out! #blackcattruffles #truffles #trufflemaintenance

So many bonfires next week... #blackcattruffles #truffles #trufflemaintenance

I wish I had a flail mower so that I wouldnt have to burn oak prunings. Quercus Ilex burns rather well even when green. #truffles #trufflemaintenance #blackcattruffles

Quelle surprise! They named a horse race after us. Who woulda thunk? #blackcattruffles #truffles #ballaratregionaltourism

A finished fence is ajoy to behold. Keep those wascally wabbits out. #simplepleasures #truffles #blackcattruffles #trufflemaintenance

Wipping up wabbit warrens. #blackcattruffles #truffles #trufflemaintenance #wascallywabbits

Unfortunately I forgot about the offset rippers and gave this post a major whack! Never liked that gate anyhow... #blackcattruffles #truffles more #trufflemaintenance #workworkwork #damndamndamn

Done in 4 hours! That’s what happens when you pay a professional. I would have spent 4 hours just thinking about it. The alpaca enclosure for Kristen is lookin good. #blackcattruffles #truffles #jobsdone

Covers the basics nicely

So now we have a shiny new gate to replace the post I whacked. Haven’t done this much fencing for 10 years! Just like cars - just after you buy and just before you sell. #truffles #black_cat_truffles #trufflemaintenance

Correct me if I misinterpret - t.melanosporum and t.aestivum can colonise other tree species other than the popular oaks and hazelnuts. Interesting. Someone in West Oz always thought melano was growing on the inter-row fescue grasses - maybe it was.

The new owners of #blackcattruffles and their new alpacas! What is a group of alpacas called? A spit? #truffles
