Hello Spring..........................

I must confess I had been counting down the days until the arrival of SPRING........................

                                                                         
                                                 Matilda and Charlie enjoying the Sunshine.

Nature diddn't dissapoint we had a couple of beautiful sunny days perfect for planting out new seedlings into the kitchen garden.

Beetroot      Spring onions       Spinach          Tuscan Kale           Lettuce

Also seeds of Carrots    Parsnips     Sugar Snap peas     Lettuce        Chives     Radish     Coriander


The most exciting start to Spring was the birth of our first lamb for the season..........................

                                                                                
After a couple of days mum has let me get a little closer, an interesting breed of sheep the Damara or Fat Tailed sheep has fleece that is shed over the warmer months so there is no need for shearing.  

We have 7 more ewes ready to lamb so this little one will have some playmates soon.....................
