I haven’t blogged for a couple of weeks, I am still feeling poorly, still doing the bare minimum and in truth, can’t be arsed! The weather, as glorious as it is, is a bit of a bind for me, but I am not complaining, nicer to have heat than freezing cold or wet mud! It…

Over the last week, I have literally done the bare minimum, get up, feed, water and sort eggs, then spend the days on the sofa! I came down with a bug which alternated between violent shivering and sweating profusely, my muscles had nothing in them to give and so I relented and just rested in…

Sadly, despite our best efforts, Frank died yesterday, he had picked up a little in the week and we thought he was going to make it but he took a turn for the worst on Sunday morning and by the evening he was gone. Having reared bottle lambs for a few years in a row…
