All lambs are well, we've had a shortfall of chaff, so are purchasing lamb and ewe nuts for the flock as an addition to bales of haylage. We have just under three weeks until the flock goes to grass keep; I will be relieved to see them go, the farmhouse is noisy as hell.
Bird settled on power lines beside the farmhouse study, few feet away from me.
We have half a dozen cade lambs, more than last year, this is significant considering there has been a reduction in the flock this year.
Today, on Mother's Day, Charlie took me to Bonchester Bridge for a pub meal at the Horse & Hound Country Inn.
Lamb that contracted wet mouth survived the night and this morning is suckling her mother ewe; Charlie entered the poly tunnel and also found triplets, these are the third triplets to be born in three days.
Unhappy with waking up to Charlie denying that he is snoring in my ear; so tired, yet he moans to me, he's tired constantly.
This morning I released the cade lamb onto the paddock, initially she looked estranged then when she found her footing began leaping; I believe this is what we call playtime.
We took four ewe lambs to Longtown this morning; we bought all the lambs and one mother ewe down from the paddock then penned them unto the trailer ramp.
Today Charlie took me south for a drive in Craik Forest.
Charlie turned his attentions to the farmhouse's kitchen garden. He is harvesting Potato, Swedes and Parsnips
This is the first day prolific toothache has subsided, for months. The weather is sunny overcast.
