Nigel is at the vet. Apparently he had an X-ray and is now wearing a splint. I need to collect him soon and the vet will tell me all about his “treatment plan”.

Mum’s care home (in line with government guidelines) has been closed to visitors until further notice. Hmmmm

He hurt his back leg yesterday in a freak accident

We felt so sorry for him that we stoked up the fire and allowed both cats to sleep by the hearth last night.

The goats DON’T want the lamb milk but they do like eating the lamb creep. They head butt Helly and Angel and try to eat the food out of my hand. This afternoon I resorted to taking the lambs into the barn and shutting the goats outside (just for a few peaceful feeding minutes).

At last the ground is dry enough for the tractor to till

We moved the Orpingtons to their own run in the hope that they will breed baby Orpingtons. Mrs O is not showing signs of going broody yet and she also has to start laying some eggs.

One cockerel, four hens and four eggs today

A gorgeous sky and the prettiest lambs

He behaved beautifully
