Subsequently Philp and I have dug a huge allotment next to the house, and planted everything form potatoes to Butternut squash. We ahve had lots of fun doing it and luckily the weather has been nice enought to get on this year. I avhe also ahd a green house isntalled and that is full of tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, chillies and some autumn plants.
My three geese whihc I ahve ahd for 5 weeks , fattening for Christmas have done very well, although one is ill today. My Hens are laying well after the introduction of 6 new point of lays which are in fact all now laying.
minton my tiddling lamb had his last feed of bottled milk yesterday and is now on his own, although he still tries it on a the fence for just one more bottle!

March31st - Snow On The Hills
A windy cold morning with snow on the hills overlooking us. One lamb died in the shed in the night, his belly was full but he had started to scour so don't really know what happened there.
Picked a big dead single lamb off the filed below, something had had his stomach out, and the crows had pecked out his eyes other than that he looked healthy. Philip picked up a small twin lamb off the field behind from the small stream, looked as if he had drowned - poor thing, well that's all the dead ones over here.
Kate accompanied Philip during the night and they had a calf and had to pull a couple of lambs, a big single and a pair of twins. feeding lots of lambs a supplement as a lot of our yearling ewes just haven't performed this year, they have little or no milk so the extra two pairs of hands is coming in handy.
Looking forward to WI this evening, I am taking a community dance session with them - just hope they enjoy it.
And my big son Tom comes home for the weekend on Friday so I am really looking forward to that, thinking of doing a big curry night on Saturday...... get cooking then Rachael
