They are out!

Finally the “boys” are out in the field.

Alvin, Theodore and Simon have been weaned and are now residing in the Pig’s Patch. They were not to keen to move out of their snug pen but they needed to get outside and enjoy the grass and freedom to run about.

The changeable weather has not met with approval but they are enjoying stretching their legs as they gallop around the field.

Everyone needs space!

Spring is on it’s way?

Will the rain ever stop?

Easter is just around the corner and yet it still seems like winter with all the rain. The fields are water logged and the streams are full but with a few dry days it would be a different picture – just a bit of breeze on a dry day can make all the difference.

It will soon be lambing time and time to bottle feed the cade lambs. Then surely the weather will have picked up and spring will be here!

Our carpet of Snow Drops

Don’t you just love it when the first signs of spring appear!

Our snowdrop carpet expands year on year – there are patches of snow drops all over the farm. Seeds dropped by birds which eventually make the tiny bulbs that will then spread to create mini carpets of white in unexpected places.

Nature left to its own devices paints a marvellous canvas!
