Midnight surprise

For the last few nights I’ve been taking the torch out to check on the pregnant ewes. Tonight Gertie has given birth to twins

One is on its feet and one is still trying to get up
Here’s hoping they will all get through the night and the lambs will latch onto mother’s huge udder (the largest I’ve ever seen in any of our ewes)

More goat news

Yes, it’s true girls
Yes, I’m going to tell you
This news was sent to me by friend Kate and I looked it up on the BBC website

Goats are very much on trend right now and always have been at The Gables and also when we lived in at The Old Forge in Devon 45 years ago. After all my book has a goat on the cover and stories about them too!

Shameless plug – available from Amazon UK, Canada and USA and through Waterstones and Barnes and Noble and other book sites. Enjoy!
