Between firewood and Manchego lamb chops

A few days ago, we were with our father's cousin, Juan Ángel, to pick up  firewood on the mount in order to prepare barbecues this winter. These are days with a lot of jobs to be carried out because we have to harrow, fertilize and sow cereal, legumes and  finally garlic, but we can find some free time to spend a Sunday morning with him.

I have to affirm we were exhausted although our trailer finished full as well, despite of we found this task impossible when we stared to pick up the firewood. Thanks to Tenías B3 frontloader of John Deere 3135, what made our work easier, we could finish early to came back at home, because we were at 30km from our village, specifically, in the Honrubia village area.

After that, we could eat extraordinary Manchego lamb chops ....they were exquisite. We invite our followers abroad to taste them in La Mancha... I am sure you will like them.

  3. Great idea using the tractor to speed up the process. We have a Kubota L4400 that we use all the time to gather firewood. Hydraulics make everything easier! The chops look great....I'm sure they taste as good as they look.
