Lamb Creep
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.
Rejection
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.
Woodburn
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.
Longtown
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.
Craik Forest
Today Charlie took me south for a drive in Craik Forest.
Kitchen Garden
Charlie turned his attentions to the farmhouse's kitchen garden. He is harvesting Potato, Swedes and Parsnips
Woodburn Farmhouse
This is the first day prolific toothache has subsided, for months. The weather is sunny overcast.
Fuel
When I state wet and windy, that is how most days are here. The fine rain drops, blow horizontal, South west to North East appearing from the Craik travelling through to Roberton.
Straw and Mac
Wet and windy day in Borthwick valley, Charlie has gone to the poly tunnel to feed the mother ewes haylage as one mother ewe is attempting to climb their pens!
