SubscribeSnow arrived yesterday, Charlie took me out for a drive along the road to Ashkirk.
Charlie got the tractor running on three cylinders and thus towed the sheep feed trailer to the rear of the farmhouse.
Charlie has made me the beginning of a kitchen herb garden; for a planter he's used an old filing cabinet.
The sheep have had better days, a week of rain, the paddock is becoming a landslide of mud. This morning clear blue skies, but fast moving clouds encroach a gloomy grey upon this day.
Today we drove to Eyemouth with Charlie's mother and brother; this is there last day in the Scottish Borders before they return home to the Midlands.
Woodburn paddock was overloaded with sheep after returning a flock from the Craik Forest. Charlie loaded six ewes and transported them to Selkirk grass keep.
This is the first time in decades I've stayed around long enough to see a seed I planted, in my garden, bloom and what an experience this is.
We received a cancel message to come and collect our sheep for grass keep in the Craik Forest; we'd agreed to fetch them at the weekend, but we them earlier on Thursday instead.
Awakened to thunder, a lightening strike appeared as I placed, from darkness into light, my face next to the bedroom window; weather exactly the opposite to yesterday.
I'm excited about our beans within our Kitchen Garden, last year they failed to grow; we believe they were eaten before their stalks could climb up off the ground.
