Knackered !
After a lovely slow morning- Nursery kids visited to see the baby piggies, then after nursery my youngest daughter & I went delivering eggs & took a drive to see how many coloured lambs we could spot on the hill grazing.
We then had a very slow lunch with much talking about baby lambs & are we getting a cade lamb this year mum & some sorting out for said small persons upcoming 5th birthday. Then the afternoon & evening spent getting in most of the last of the seed tatties, just 15kg of Nadine, 7kg of shetland black & 7 kg of highland burgandy to go, and the onions all planted, the final 4 lambs were checked over & the ram lambs ringed (I promise, i get this done so quick its just a few seconds of slight discomfort then back to skipping around the field with the other lambs) & back to the house around 8ish just as the rain was starting.
Tomorrow is going to be a day of rain so its been set aside as IACS & tax return day & Ive also got a total wadd load of paperwork to start on in prep for us going into organic conversion this autumn, and with 14 cruise boats visiting over may, june, july & august, there’s the Hall Tea’s stores list to be sorted out & ordered from the shop and one or two things to be organised for the grand *refurbished* hall re-opening this saterday & a few dances in prep for the big 2 night wedding in a fortnights time.
Lil pigs have started being brave enough to come outside to play & i’m spending far to much time watching & laughing at the antics of them.
