This is the last day but one before the end of the April, a day after tomorrow will be Beltaine, Spring equinox only seems a week ago, yet we're on the eve of Mayday.
Today I woke on the farm, in the morning I fed pellets to the cade lambs; before Charlie trimmed the hooves of two ewes.

Today, this ewe is having her hoof trimmed. We supplemented milk for two of her lambs due to mastitis ruining her bag.
Been January and February we had snowdrops, now there are beautiful daffodils in the farmhouse garden.
After a cooked breakfast we visited Craik forest, it's been a few weeks since my last visit, and I have a newer phone camera, so took some new pictures. We walked for about half a mile, before returning to the car; on the way I found a badger skull.
I was searching for a reclusive adder, but found not one.
Later we drove to Galashiels, we were overtaken by at least one car on this road, other times four or five cars. Charlie purchase a toilet seat, later a hoover from ASDA, then we ordered a meal at the supermarket cafe. We waited forty minutes, yet still no food arrived, so demanded a refund. We visited both grass keeps, some of the lambs are ever so slightly lame, we have no idea what is causing this, so have to research the internet for answers. One car always passes us when we infrequently, at various times, when we are attending one of the grass keeps.
