No lambs…

For 15 years the family-run business had been renting some land where they managed snd cut the wood and then delivered it to customers. Due to local council bureaucracy they were not allowed to continue their business and now they buy in wood – grown and cut in Lithuania. Ironically it is actually more profitable for them to do this!

I’m grateful to my friend and neighbour, Kate, for the never ending display of birds outside the kitchen window.

I hadn’t realised that I could place the bird feeder so close to the house. I followed her example and now, as I stand at the sink, I have my own bird show.

Been making a meal of the rabbit all day long and now into the evening

Mabel is staying in her latest Amazon box – it’s just the right size

Nigel wouldn’t come in last night but kept on calling us – first at the back door then at the front door. We soon realised that he wanted us to follow him to the cat barn and admire his “kill”. I admire his hunting skills but wish he wouldn’t!

The goats are enjoying some free Brussels sprouts given to us by the shop where we buy the animal fodder.
