Fun in the barn today
Last Shabbat it was so warm that I fell asleep in the sunshine. This morning it is snowing!
As I cut down nettles in the orchard plenty of pretty Ground Ivy appeared underneath the severed weeds
The older lambs were very interested in watching us as we bottle fed Poddy, Dotty and Spotty.
While the cat’s away…..
This morning, when I was feeding Dotty (who is a slow feeder) Nigel sat beneath the bottle hoping to catch the drips.
Another day, another lamb and the last one for the year (22 in all).
The big lambs form a gang but little Dotty want to be a goat
Resident buzzard
We have seen the buzzard nearly every day for some time now. He likes to sit on a fence post and later to roost in the oak tree at the far side of the field
In praise of willow
She didn’t have a kid this year but Willow is still producing a litre and a half of milk each morning.
A few myths busted tonight
There are 12 species of bats in this country and Vampire bats are NOT one of these (pheww!). Bats are NOT blind – they see very well thank you. And, finally, what mum told me and others believe – bats do NOT get tangled in your hair. Notwithstanding all this I don’t find them pretty creatures and whilst Bob gave his talk a few bats flew around the church – I kid you not.
It’s a joint effort but I have the easier task by far
I’ve cleaned out the duck house and several barrow loads of straw snd manure from the polytunnel
