Grasskeep
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.

Sheep
Early morning Charlie drove to our grass keep near Selkirk, sheep here have had few if any problems this year; being mindful of lung fluke which killed two lambs at this grass keep last year.
Flat Tyre
Two badgers terrified our lambs during the night, I checked on the welfare of these wee things, and they're OK this morning.
Lambs at Grass keep
We transported ewes and lambs, from the farmhouse to the grasskeep.
Eildons
Today I accompanied Charlie to his appointment at Borders General Hospital (BGH); he wanted me there and I get that, as I've only ever attended hospital on my own.
Fungi
Early afternoon we drove along the Roberton to Ashkirk road.
Clearer pictures
My new iPhone 14 arrived via courier today… I took a panoramic picture of our farm with the phones camera this morning.
Shearing
In the morning I mucked out the trailer whilst Charlie finished nailing new hurdles; allowing the flock at the first grass keep to be sheered.
Pen
Today we collected hurdles, and began erecting a pen at our grass keeps at Bowden; Charlie stated "it was nothing to be proud of", "take pride in everything" I replied.
