Thank you to all who made a comment on "Happiness is a quiet lambing shed".
The weather in February was fantastic - springlike to say the least. March came in, as usual, snow in the first week and got worse. fortunately Easter passes us by, so it was just another crap weekend. I asked Laura if she had any Easter eggs (she was with her dad for easter) and she said yes, 1, where was mine? I apologised for being a crap mum, and said there wasn't one!
Lambing is not too bad, I think. The 2nd flock are lambing outside - not ideal but a necessity. They chase the grass every year. But, we have had 30-odd lambs go, which will improve the bank balance a bit.
I think I saw a swallow last week, but with the weather turning horrible again it might have gone to warmer climates.
Why, when I'm tractor driving or feeding the sheep, can I think of great, witty stories, but then faced with the computer and a screen it comes out crap - three times I've said that word?
Will have to get back into blogging again.
I am an English woman, married to an Englishman, and we are farming in France. I have three children, the oldest of which is 20, one of 19 and the youngest 18. Yes, very close together! We have been in France for 11 years and the find the way of life very good - weather this summer? Awful. Am terrified my blocg will not work as I am doing this on my own without the help of the kids!
