Then back inside to warm bottles for Ginny and Luna
Just as I was about to sit down and watch the news we had a couple of jobs to carry out by moonlight
An afternoon walk and an introduction to a new puppy and saying hello to an old dog
Little Reg is a deaf dog whose owner communicates in sign language with him. She has had experience with a deaf dog who she looked after for many years.
It is extraordinary to see a dog respond to sign language.
All creatures (humans too) enjoying the spring sunshine
Good morning goose. Thanks for the egg

Grandchildren help with feeding lambs
Another week, new developments both at The Gables and in the world
We await developments in the world but here at home there are …
Both mothers are 14 years old and that’s extremely ancient and rare for sheep mothers.
We are keeping Bridge indoors in the barn with her lamb as she needs to recover and revive and we are topping the lamb up from a bottle
Blackthorn is blossoming at the back gate
Would that the world would be as peaceful and easily satisfied as the lambs
It’s quiet outside in the field and inside the barn
A bit of a surprise this morning.
The other night I thought that Bridge, a 13 or 14 year-old sheep, was dying. She seemed fine the next day. Last night I heard Bridge making strange noises. Was she in her death throes?
This morning I came out to the sheep barn and saw an afterbirth on the straw. I looked in the field and there was Bridge with a lamb.
