Gosh I can't believe how long its been!
A lot has been happening on the farm, we have almost finished lambing, there are only 5 or so Ewes to go, they seem to be crossing their legs and hanging on!
We have a new heading dog, Major, he is a beardie x border collie and he is SMART! He has just gone 3 1/2 months and has started lead training. Hes adjusted to farm life well and is good with the chickens and with our new orphan lamb Poppy - photos to follow!
We also have chicks, nine in total, being looked after by two hens and they are cute! Photos to follow also.
I have also been planning out our summer vegetable garden as I am planning to do a SSS (Semi Self-sufficient Summer)
