• Fuzzy Double Sweetness

  Marmalade has been watching Marcel the lamb very carefully. Thinking about whether he can be bothered making friends with  a barn person. Yesterday he came down off his perch to say hullo.

  I thought I would be clever and upended the somewhat empty frozen gallon flagon of molasses, jammed it into Daisy’s feeder so it dripped into her hay and let them fool around with it for the day. OOPS! Then leaving Queenie to clean up the last of it Daisy went outside to bury her head…
