Bread and butter pudding (never made it before) and croutons (some for the freezer and some to put in onion soup tonight.
Little lamb drank nearly a whole bottle this morning
The ducks like the wet weather and the muddy puddles.
A pastime for winter evenings until the clocks go forward
The drop spindle
The wool
The crocheted neck warmer (I can’t knit and have no head for complicated creations).
And Happy Birthday to grandson who is 2 today. He had a pre birthday visit with his great grandma yesterday.
A lame sheep and a nursery pen
Gertrude has been limping on her back right hoof so we enticed her into the nursery pen this afternoon (using food, of course). Then Jeremy flipped her over and I held her while he trimmed and sprayed her hooves.
Domino and her two and Gertrude and her twins will stay in the nursery pen and paddock for a few more days until Domino’s lamb is bigger and Gertrude’s hoof is less tender
“Pussy cat, pussy cat, where have you been?”
While Mabel holds the fort at The Gables – on International Women’s Day……..

The weather turns wintry but the cherry plum trees are in blossom
“I go riding in my car, it’s not quite a Jaguar!”
Jeremy’s trusty old ex army Land Rover – a heavy duty tin box on heavy duty wheels.
Little ‘un feeding well from the bottle
and also feeding from mum, Domino. He is filling out and looking less “tucked up”.
