My new iPhone 14 arrived via courier today… I took a panoramic picture of our farm with the phones camera this morning.
The phone is new, but the model is now a year old, this is the most recent iPhone I've owned. My last device was an iPhone 11.
Early afternoon we weaned lambs from our grass keep, here there are two fenced areas we are using, the area they was in was out of grass so there was not much trouble moving them. We are keeping two ewe lambs from this flock, and auctioning four tups as store lambs.
The mother ewes were slightly stressed at having their lambs taken, but after ten minutes they were busy eating grass as if nothing had happened.
Driving though the forest tracks, breaking grit, we noticed a disused station; Charlie said spite had closed the railway line to inflict poverty by cutting off economic prosperity; telling that people had historically placed their livelihood upon the train carriages.
Daylight was fading as we arrived into the forest, this photograph does not do the impression the scene created upon presence.
We noticed and stopped to take a picture of huge shaggy ink cap mushrooms growing from the gravel track.
Riccarton Junction was a railway village and station. In its heyday it had 118 residents and its own school, post office and grocery store.
The track came to an end, about one-thousand yards from Ninestanes Rig. We walked over felled trees and then down a marshy footpath towards the circle stones.
Ninestanes Rig, "probably made between 2000 BC and 1250 BC".
“At the Skelf-hill, the cauldron still The men of Liddesdale can show And on the spot, where they boiled the pot, The spreat and the deer-hair ne'er shall grow.”. - John Leyden, "Lord Soulis"
Charlie at the Ninestanes Rig.
These are the lambs we transported today from Denholm.
We are keeping two ewe lambs, the other remaining four are going to auction as store lambs.
