Spring is almost here…..Our “wall of primroses” is beginning to appear on both sides of the burn (stream) that runs through the fields. The primroses are a most welcome sight and I was worried that the sheep and ponies were probably eating them as there is not much in that field and food is food.
But as the flowers are growing on a sheer cliff, they seem to be ok, if a bit wind-blown.
These days, we are all a bit wind-blown.
It was blowing a hoolie when I went out with the dogs this morning.
As you can see by Newt’s very bouffant mane.
Newt is used to his wild hair.
On my walk, I went to see if the sheep had finally gone outside into their field – these days I just leave the field gate open and let them make their own choices.
I found that they had chosen to use the lee of the big shed and the bank for shelter. All eight of them – quite the flock. I do like seeing them all together.
Oooh, Lambie.
Pepper and Gussie – aww.
(so you know, this is an eating day – fingers crossed). However, Guss is always eating. He wears snacks.
Madge looked, err, triangular.
And Maggie was most disapproving.
So I went inside and made a disapproving sheep, as well.
