ARE YOU MY MOTHER?
Jude approaches everyone on the farm with the fearless inquisitiveness of the very young. I just let him wander about for the meantime. Let him explore.
CALLING IT A NIGHT
… in the middle of the afternoon. Yesterday darkness fell about 3.30pm. A storm was rolling in. All the animals took note and began to take their places in their barns. ‘Calling it a night.’ Early.
FEEDBACK
Manu slept the night in his little tin house. He had two bales of dry golden straw in there and has made himself a big warm bed.

SCOURS
Once more into the breach. Yesterday and the day before were bad days for Piglet. He went down with another bout of pretty bad scours.
CLEAR SKIES
And cold. This morning it is clear and cold. I am not going to start chores too early because all the animals will be staying still and curled up in their warm straw sleeping in.
