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.
I'm relaxing at the farmhouse; after yesterdays mayhem, I need quiet day without worry.
We woke at my house in Ancrum, then travelled to Woodburn Farmhouse and began tagging tup lambs to sell at Longtown.
After nagging Charlie out of bed on his day off work he drove to the Craik Forest, delivering our topper for repair and top our friends field.

As I put on my boots and stepped outside the rain started; I gritted my teeth, entered the kitchen garden and began to weed.

Woken up at Woodburn farmhouse, strimmed the paddock of dock leaves, I was happy to be greeted by our lambs.
