So much has happened in these last 24 hours….. Yesterday evening, I had an inkling that something was up. Maggie had taken herself away. So I watched and waited. Nothing. Maggie was wanderin…
This morning, Maggie was having her mid-morning snack and little Himself was busy trying to be brave! Harry is desperate for a chat. Maggie just wants biccies. It’s a fair exchange, I think.…
Your daily bounce – let’s get that out of the way. Harry Lamblin remains beyond cute. He now comes when he is called and clambers all over me! Be still my beating heart. 🐑 &#…
I was playing around this morning with my big camera. We have all been noticing that Silver looks remarkably like Fivla. Some days, you could almost mistake him for her. I think it is the shape of…
Efstur is now well into his training with Daisy. He loves being ridden and is beginning to become more balanced while developing the right muscles. Upon examination, Uwe, his physio, said that he…
Maggie has been shouting and everyone has “talked” to Harry through the fence so we opened the gate….. I check them all regularly. Firstly, the main flock took themselves down to…
I have planted all my tatties, (sing it loud), I have planted all my tatties (feeling smug)… And winter hurriedly returned. It’s very cold again. I have also acquired a plethora of Bel…
Little Harry likes his grub. He happily tries everything, from his Mother’s breakfast, biscuits, string, gates, anything really. He will try to eat it. Today, when Maggie brought Harry up wi…
Yesterday, Daisy rode Dreki. I was leading and Daisy was riding. “Thems is feets….. where do they come from, thems feets? Efstur said they would appear and they did!” (Who knows, …
It is still very cold. We had a brief moment when we all thought, sheep included, that Spring had arrived but no, Spring departed and we are back to a cruel north wind and some harsh rain. Recentl…
Today was a huge effort. We moved everyone everywhere – well, it felt like it anyway. First up were Lilja and Sóley who moved back in with their mother, Hetja and Brá, as well as another Ice…
This morning we took Lilja and Sóley home. We were hoping that things would settle overnight but it was very apparent they were not making friends in their new field. Once home, we gave the young …
Harry is not a fan of our Shetland weather. He loves his little shed and possibly any shed he can hide from Maggie in, while she shouts her head off for him looking for him. But he is a sheep and …
It was “One of Those Days” today. They say trouble comes in threes I managed to leave my Bank card at home – you know when you see yourself putting your essential Bank card in yo…
Farrier day today – we had a few. First up were the girls, Lilja and Sóley who were ok, not brilliant, but it was their first time in the shed for a few years and also first time using the h…
I took these photos yesterday after Daisy said “Mum, quick, look in the paddock – Haakon and Lilja are grooming each other”. We had brought them all in for the farrier, even thou…
Just shout and Maggie…. …. and little Harry come running! A friend visited this afternoon – Shetland is in Level 1 – and I introduced her to our latest arrivals. The team. M…
