To start with I have a couple of corrections to make, firstly, Flat Lamb who up until this year has always had twins (apart from the first year she lambed when she had a single black ram lamb, if I’m going to be completely correct) this year had a white ewe lamb and a black ram lamb, [...]

Seeing tonight’s Sunday Roast in the oven reminded me that I still hadn’t posted about the mutton we had back last Friday. We’ve had our own mutton before but this mutton was special as it was the first time it was butchered at home.

I’m both emotionally and physically wrung out, life at work is far from pleasant and I’m spending my time from waking up each morning counting down the time until I can leave and go… to another job.

Lambing started today, Lily had twins just like I told her to.
The last couple of years she’s had massive single lambs and has had problems delivering them, last year I took her to the vet in the end, and for some reason he came out two weeks later and her lamb was so big and doing so [...]
