Windy Pic Overload
Many photos from today – when I went to see the Minions in their new field. It was windy. Very windy. There were some great hairstyles out there! But the field has shelter and the ponies kn…

Good Night Missy
First thing this morning, Daisy and I found Missy’s dead body outside the front door. We didn’t know what to think. What had happened? It was horrible. I fed the rest of the sheep, c…

I dont vaccinate mine. I did when we first had the sheep but havent for about 10 years. Cant remember why we stopped. There was a reason we stopped. We did work out though that ours werent fully covered as you had to give two injections so far apart and we had only been giving one with not knowing.
I lost a lamb mysteriously a few weeks ago in the field. Although we had had some very bleak wind and rain which i think was more likely the cause.
If i lost a number for no apparent reason close together i probably would go back to vaccinations if i thought i had a problem in the flock.

Bits and Bobs
I’m not feeling very inspired today – rather lack-lustre, if I’m honest and tired. Very tired so please forgive this pathetic and probably whiney blog offering. Anywho, the Boyzen…

Daisy Teaches
Last week, when we moved everyone to their new field (about 1/4 mile down the road), it swiftly became apparent that two certain young Icelandic ladies had forgotten all they had ever learned about…

Another Day in the Life of Weird!
I noticed Monster was sitting next to OH in a sort of Right-Hand-Of-The-Father way (only it was Left) and so I took a photo, looked at it and remarked “but you’re both not smiling”…

Town on a Dreich Day
It was a dull dreich day so as we didn’t feel like riding much and having done our chores, Daisy and I took the horse-van for a good run into town to collect hay and horse feed. Then we went …

Stormy Afternoon
The weather is deteriorating rapidly. It’s not very nice outside so I spent the afternoon going through some of my Great Great Aunt Kate’s magazine/newspaper clippings and her own sketc…

Getting Ready for Winter
On Wednesday, we went to town and bought some hay. Not a huge amount. Just in case. You never know. This is our first hay of the season, so first Daisy cleared and cleaned the area we always sto…

Farrier in the Rain
I am sitting at my desk, the fire is roaring and I have a hot-water bottle wedged into my back. I am feeling damp, and cold to my bones. In filthy weather, Daisy and I spent the first part of our …

So very very damp
Bits Again
Nothing much today. A day of well-earned rest. I think I’ve just about thawed and dried out now. The view from the car (still driving my Mother’s car as mine is still in the garage wit…

Storms Coming
I drove over to check the Minions this morning. I could sense they were very fed up of their 2 week old field. To be fair, it is pretty small and they had done their best. I came home and remarke…

Getting ready
In the Shed
A filthy day so being a nice Mum, I let all the sheep out of their field as they hate being there when it is raining. To be fair, though, it has very little shelter and they don’t go straight…

A Little Fivla Moment
This is Fivla (our old lady – aged 24 years young) who was having a little-bouncy-bottom-of-happiness moment. This included some tail swishing. Lots of cantering around. Unlike the beautiful …

A Bit Wet Here
We’ve had some quantity of rain over the past 24 hours and now it is blowing a hooley as well. Not nice. The wind is going to swing round from the north, temperatures are dropping rapidly a…
