• Big Scary Moggy Mousers: They have arrived!

  The new barn mousers have arrived.  They came from another barn across the way that has a cat problem, and we have a mouse problem: all good. I took them up into the warm hayfilled mezzanine floor of the barn,  high and safe,  above the big animals, to acclimatise. When they can climb down by…

• Someone left the Calf out in the Rain

  Early, early morning just after the milking and Queenie and I were slogging through the mud to get to the gate to open it for Daisy.  The rain is very welcome. The muck and mud; not so welcome. Mia was not feeling photogenic when we were doing the Farmy Walk the other day so here…

• A Screaming Gale or Two ripped Through.

  Yesterday the wind howled all day. Every now and then it would rise up to a biting scratching squall then drop back to a gale. It was not that cold or anything but it was furiously noisy.  We forget how noisy the world gets in a wind like that. Wild.  It blew my hair almost…
