Not sure what it is about early Tuesday mornings, but after watching Curly all day yesterday and finally giving up when the sun went down, at 5:30 this morning, I was greeted with a new lamb...

...and after giving her half an hour -- I was greeted with another lamb!

Here they are later today, both dry and up on their feet and doing well.  This makes 8 lambs so far, 7 commercials and one Shetland -- and, we are now officially halfway through lambing -- 5 ewes left to go...

Danny built this bird house for the sparrows a couple of years ago and we'd about given up because it seemed that the birds weren't interested for whatever reason -- but now it seems that perhaps they just needed time to get used to its existence because we've got several sparrows nesting in it now -- in their own little Sparrowhall!  :)

Chicks are continuing to grow...

Here's Lucky, never passing up the opportunity for a swim...  (Speaking of which, I need to get back in the sea as it's been a couple of weeks now I think!  Yikes!)

Instead of a sunset, today you get my neighbour's barn looking like an alien spaceship...  :)
