Lambs at Grass keep

Some ewes already at grass keep appeared to want to return to the farmhouse.

Many of the black sheep haven't been sold as they have been good mothers, the mother ewe pictured below raised her lambs without any intervention.

Charlie introduced a Zwartble ewe into the Teeswater herd to increase failing Teeswater ewe milk production.

Called in to the bungalow I am supposed to be moving into tree months ago, to found nothing changed inside. We then visited our other grass keep near Denholm.

Charlie called into work, fetched straw and got called in to feed the cattle before returning to Hawick. Waiting I took pictures of a newborn calf, and some peacocks.

Calf born not long been born, mother coo was still licking cleansing.

In the evening moi and Charlie entertained a friend named Robert; hosting I cooked a big pot of Panackelty of which we shared. Circumstance prohibited hospitality for many years.
