Bloody Winter Again!

A cold but dry morning and I gave everyone their breakfast wishing it would be warmer.

I managed to hide away Vitamin and her bucket so she could eat in peace….

…. but failed with Fivla. She stuck out like a sore thumb because she wouldn’t go into the little sheep-pen with Vitamin (she felt crowded and mildly hysterical).

I also tucked Kolka around another corner to try and keep her from marauding everyone else.  She always eats very quickly and then goes on the rampage.

Over the day, it got increasingly colder and I collared Mandy, who came over to play flute duets, to help me put on rugs again.  We are all very fed up with winter.  These days, it is the gift that just keeps on giving.

So we started with Tiddles who offered to put on his own rug and I put out the haynets too.

I gave the Shetland ponies an extra haynet as the grass isn’t growing in these low temperatures.  No one minded or said no thank you.

Then we went out to the other field and I caught, Mandy held, and I put on everyone’s rugs.  This lot are going to need it – although there is no snow forecast (I pray), but it is going to be very cold over the next few days.

Oh yes, and I did a few more hairstyles to cheer myself up.

I think you will agree that Waffle suits his lucious locks.

But, hold the phone, Ted looks positively regal.  It could not be better (Mum would’ve loved this).

Anyway, back to moaning about the weather. It’s my new hobby or as those influencers are always saying “it is my new obssession!”  (shudder).

    Waffle looks gorgeous, but Ted is like some film star. Yes, your Mum would have loved to have seen Ted like this. He looks so glamorous.
    So sorry it’s so cold. It just seems to be going on for ever.

    Just remember, in a month or so we will all be complaining about how hot it is.

    Ted looks somewhat like a Cocker Spaniel.
    But divine.

    May & winter! Gee, absolutely no break for all of you which is the pits. I think of tulips, daffodils, & hyacinths which are going to be ‘cooked’ in such conditions even if the are in the lee of homes. My daughter in Colorado had a snowstorm on Wednesday which closed schools & balmy 70*F day on Thursday. I’d say, ‘What is wrong with the weather, but I think we all know (sigh).

    I adore the new hair styles: I will say Waffle’s & Ted’s new ‘do’s’ do blend in well. I do love the Shetland coiffs for non humans. These models could start a whole new trend.
