Today I woke late, about 10am, I was awake till 3am, updating my account on Twitter.
This afternoon, Charlie took me to the farmhouse, he has fixed his trailer to taxi sheep to the new grass keep near Selkirk. Four ewes, each with two lambs were the first to be loaded.
The new grass keep has a sheep run, and a lovely view of the Eildon hills, I checked the manger to see if there was water for the arrival of the ewes and lambs.
Panoramic view of the grass keep.
Observing the love between a ewe and her lamb is sweetening.
But lambs, as their ewes by law are required to have their ears pierced with identity tags before they go onto grass keep.
The Scottish Borders views along the highs of the Ashkirk road are outstanding.
Scottish Blackface sheep grazing.
We returned to the farmhouse to discover a lamb to have poorly eyes, so we gave her an injection of anti-biotic.
Poorly lamb gets an injection.
The breed suffer from in turned eye lashes, other breeds such as the Zwartbles often get bad feet.
It's warming to see the glow of light through the farm house windows, as deepening as the bright blue of the Borders night sky may be.
