Take Cover!

A Day of horrible weather, either bitter cold winds or drenching rain caused Daffodil to take cover once again under the spare hutch. She is currently wandering the smallholding all alone as the rest of the Ryeland lambs are housed in the old chicken shed as they have lost much of their wool. Tracey has made some temporary arrangements for them, yes you've guessed they have their very own wooly jumpers. Photos to follow!

The mud at Rock HQ is beyond a joke now, goodness only knows where the forty tons of gravel went to that we put down to deal with the mud bath winter inevitably brings. Every time the dogs go outside they gather several pounds of dirt in their fur which they proceed to leave at strategic points back in the house. Favourite spots include the sofa, the clean washing, any coat they can knock on the floor and all painted surfaces that they can lean on. Places they conspicuously avoid until they have smeared the worst of the muck off are their dog blankets and beds.

Bless them!
