Everywhere there are signs of spring at The Gables

And look what I found in front of the stable block

We’ve never had daffodils flowering here in mid January. Global warming?

Sitting at my desk writing an outline for a book when I got distracted by this eight-legged critter

He’s still up there half an hour later. Luckily I don’t suffer from arachnophobia!

Domino or Perky or Susie?

I’ve checked supplies – colostrum and feeding bottles. Some of the old girls can’t feed their lambs and some of the younger ones are not the greatest mothers. I’m getting ready although lambing might not start until the end of the month.
