Eildons

At my operation in 21, I deliberately did not tell anybody I knew as they'd be praying me dead during my four and a half hour long operation. Leaving BGH we drove into Melrose for coffee and a sandwich, we chose Jacks cafe at the bottom of the high street. Charlie enjoyed a bacon sandwich whilst I had a loin sausage sandwich; the coffee, a latte was delicious. We talked about the evil transvestite butcher / kidnapper that lived / worked across the road, said he needed a bullet. I'd planned to take pictures of Melrose abbey but left behind my SDcard.

Returning from Melrose I photographed the Eildon hills, the last time I was here taking photographs was May 31. Jock's sheep have lambed by the side of the road.

And returned to the farmhouse I photographed our cute lambs:

Look what we found on our CCTV camera today.

We are contemplating taking both mother ewes and their lambs to grass keep, worming them after a week, the other option is keeping both mother ewes and their lambs at the farmhouse and weaning the lambs here, by taking the mother ewes to grass keep. Problem is the grass keep having a history of fluke worm; killing three lambs last year. We cannot pre-vaccinate the lambs against fluke, they have to be exposed then treated; the grass keep owner is very old and not treating the grass keep against fluke worm that is present there.
