Good morning girls
Willow is bigger and bolder than Wisp. They are half sisters who share the same father (more on that later). Although they are the same age Willow is taller and heavier and much more confident than little Wisp. Today I am going to order them new goat collars and leads. Click below
Nigel meet the goats. Goats meet Nigel. It’s a standoff and no one wants to make the first move.

Arrived in sunshine, had a cuppa with a retired shepherd
Met our little friends
And carried them into the landrover
Introducing Willow and Wisp
Sunrise
We may have new residents by the end of the day
Watch this space
A long day in London
Mum is on the move to a brand new, super duper, residential home – her choice and some time in the finding. More on this another day. Suffice to say I left her chatting away with two new friends, being served a three course lunch followed by an old time sing song session this afternoon. Wonderful!
I stopped in Bell Lane, Hendon, to pick mum up some pills from the chemist. I have walked past the tiny green, behind the bus stop many times but only noticed this sign today.
Back up the A1 and along Mill Road as the sun was beginning to set.
Cleared up the barn, put the birds to bed and smiled as Nigel climbed yet another tree

A special afternoon with family and friends – old and new – and the grandchildren too
Pizzas made outside and eaten in the barn
On Remembrance Sunday
We stand in the Colmworth Country Park and remember all those who died in wars past and present
My grandfather survived the Battle of the Somme. His wife, my grandma Kate, had (before grandpa Sam came into her life) met a young boy from New Zealand. They met at a dance in London on his way to fight in France. He sent her embroidered postcards from “somewhere in France”
He never returned and Kate married Sam and I am here today to remember- with others from this village. Tears for the fallen especially that young lad from New Zealand.
Good morning
