New Arrivals!

Lambing has started at Higher Bodley. All Robbie needs is some nice weather to get the lambs a good start.Because we've had so much cold weather with the snow, frost and cold wind the grass hasn't grown at all. consequently the ewes, although they.ve been fed well haven't got the milk they should which means alot of running around with a bottle topping up the lambs. But hopefully this won't last for too long.But i expect there'll be several around to keep feeding!

This is jeffrey, my black lab. he's now about 20months old and just becoming abit more obedient!
This is the first time i've trusted him off the lead on the common. He was really good so i'm hopng to be able to take him up there more often. It's such a lovely place to be, although very cold yesterday.

burning the heather.11th march

robbie and martin spent most of the day on Homer Common, a moorland part of the farm, burning the heather. This is done in controlled circumstances to promote healthy growth under the heather. Not a very pleasant job but one of those things that needs to be done to help the preservation of the moorland.
