Happy Easter everyone, I hope your all having a good weekend!

I also hope everyone remembered to put their clocks forward an hour last night. British Summer time begins, well the extra hours of daylight says it summer time, unfortunately the heavy frost I woke up to this morning tells a different story, but at least it’s dry and we’ve had no more snow or rain here.

Earlier this week I had a conversation with my mom about Easter and told her ...

Today for a change, I had to many titles to choose from for my blog and so I will share a few with you and you can decide for your self what the title should have been.

Dinner Date, Young Love, Love is in the Air, Manipulative Females or maybe just How Sweet? The list could go on and I’m sure you could think of much better.

To make an informed decision I will have to describe what I witness today in ...

I’m a bit late writing my blog today, Neil being home on a Friday has thrown me a bit. I’m getting as bad as the alpacas, change my routine and and I don’t seem to know where I’m supposed to be 🙂

He’s home today as it’s good Friday, as I’m sure you are all aware and the lovely man has done all my farm chores for me, how sweet is that? much better than an Easter egg any day of ...

I thought today that I ought to have a rummage, not through fleeces one of my favourite jobs, but through my previous blogs.  Why you ask?  Well there is a reason, being dyslexic has its advantages although having a poor short term memory I’ve forgotten what those advantages are :0))

It also has lots of disadvantages i.e. short term memory issues.  I have to say though that by the time you get to my age coping strategies are second nature and ...

Oh what a day! It began as usual with my morning cup of coffee and a quick browse through my emails, no problems there.  A peak out of the window to check what the weather had in store for us today, no nasty snowy surprises waiting for us there, in fact although it was cold at least the sun was making its presence known for a change.

So coffee finished and ready to face the world, with the alpacas breakfast in ...

I’m pleased to announce the happy, or maybe not so happy:0)) reunion between Neil and the poo-hoover. It’s been a week since he’s been back to work, but today saw the start of the weekend and me stood ready to hand the hoover over. I knew I looked forward to the weekend for a reason :0))

Before he trundled of up the paddocks, poo-hoover in hand, we had a Lambivac session. Half the herd were due today and the other half ...

It was only a few days ago that I was talking about Easter Eggs and showing off at how prepared I was for a change.  Well I wasn’t prepared at all!

I’d forgotten to check the dates on the eggs 🙁

Your probably thinking now I’m a cheap skate and bought my Nieces and nephews some cheap dodgy eggs or that I’m a bit OCD and am worried the supermarkets don’t check the them,  mind after the recent horse meat fiasco who ...

Was it only a couple of days ago when I mentioned how like an early spring day it was. Totally wishful thinking on my part, but a girl’s got to have her dreams.

Dreams once were about winning the lottery, exotic holidays abroad and don’t forget a nice British racing green Astin Martin. I know I don’t want a lot! and yes it has to be British racing green, I’m female and allowed to be fussy :0))

Now my day dreams all ...

What did I say about Groundhog Day in my last blog post? I woke up this morning to the exact same view as we had last weekend. Snow Urggggh!!!!

The poor alpacas must feel like they’re on a endless loop of the hokey cokey, in out, in out, with a little shake it all about mixed in for good measure.

Well I also guess that means we are not going to get any chain harrowing, new fencing or race repairs done today, ...

Well what a lovely day! If I hadn’t remembered it was January I could  have fooled myself that spring was on its way :0))   It would have been an even better day if I hadn’t had a phone call from Neil half way through poo – hovering, asking if I was missing him now he was back at work.  Talk about rubbing it in, I had noticed that I was back to poo- hovering on my own:0((

With thoughts of ...
