Maybe one day they will be able to touch their great grandma once more.

The grey broody Silkie has hatched a little grey chick this afternoon. She still has three eggs beneath her warm feathers so there may be more

And even covered the childrens’ playground

I asked an “old boy” in the car park (yes, I know to youngsters that I might be called an “old girl!) if he had ever seen the river this flooded. He had not. Time for some drying up weather please.

Both children came out to the paddock early to help milk the goat. Grandson’s hands are a bit too small but granddaughter managed a couple of good squirts. When we had milk in the pail grandson poured some into Nigel’s bowl.
