Nephew Mark brought his adorable little boy Archie to the farm yesterday. Archie was no trouble, his father however is a different matter! Sorry Butch! The weather was great, and the new tractor was thoroughly inspected. Rachel’s pet lamb Dipstick produced a superb set of twins yesterday, so mother, Rach, and twins doing fine.

All aboard

It’s March, it’s lambing and its snowing!!

Oh boy, 31st March and its cold wet miserable and now white! Sheep are cold wet miserable, Geoff is cold wet miserable, Rach is cold wet miserable, I am warm in the office watching the orchard whiten under the snowfall. . Rhid is on his way home from work and about to become cold wet and miserable!

The journalists who came have published an interview and video on their blogs, I am not clever enough yet to add it in, so go to right, click on Briohny, and whitefoot world, and see Caerlan and a warmer Geoff and Rach!
