Almost over

Well, we are nearly there for 2008, with only a few days remaining until we can finally put our big heavy ropes to the pier and catch up on a lot of sleep and telly. This has been an amazing season, with many ups and downs.

I totalled up what we use in a season. Of course they are all a bit rounded to make life simple, but they probably show the scale of what we do.

16,000 litres diesel
800 litres of milk
400 loaves of bread
2100 bread rolls
5200 teabags
1000 sausages
180kg chicken
56kg bacon
55kg rolled beef brisket
750 burgers
340 slices haggis
340 slices black pudding
70kg lamb
60kg cheese
210kg mince
500 eggs
30kg margarine
30kg butter
150kg potatoes
150kg pasta
400 jacket potatoes
140kg fruit
330 tins baked beans
115 litres sauce

55kg cereal
50 bulbs of garlic
