Returning flock
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.

Unlucky
We've had a series of bad luck today, first our sheep absconded, afterwards we found the tractor flat, then the tractor broke down, and finally an accident with our truck towing the tractor.
Woodburn
Woodburn farmhouse is requiring some TLC after spending so much time at my house in Ancrum; but defining moments reignite continuation.
Shearing
After dwelling in my bungalow for twenty-four hours I was longing to go outside, Charlie calls this cabin fever. I've lived outdoors all my life, and travelling relaxes me so. We drove up to our grasskeep near Selkirk, and began shearing three sheep.
Missing Sheep
We gained access to the Craik to do a welfare check on our sheep, there are seven of our flock grazing within the Craik Forest.
Kitchen Garden
We had planned to rest this Sunday, but we both set to work on weeding our Kitchen Garden.

Craik Forest
Charlie calmed my erratic mind by taking me for a drive through the beautiful Craik forest.
Frosty
Sure is cold this morning, ice on the 4x4 bonnet and window screen has made such a pretty pattern.
Wolfcleuch
This morning I walked about the farmhouse garden, at a glance there isn't much to see.
Bridges
We, Charlie and a friend, drove through heavy rain to visit the Craik forest, and commenced a brisk two-mile walk to burn off some troublesome excess weight.
