Yesterday was my birthday, and I was hoping for birthday lambs, but no joy.  However, the cake that Danny made me rather made up for that!  :)

The other day I shared a memory on Facebook about when some sheep got into my garden in Ffairfach and said something along the lines of that not happening here -- I spoke too soon!  I was eating breakfast this morning and I looked out the window and I saw some sheep that were very clearly not mine...  :)

On the Easter front, a friend on the island used some of my eggs for a game -- she says it originates in Cumbria, known as the "egg dump" a bit like conkers, you try to crack your opponent's hard boiled egg with a tap!  Sounds like good fun as long as you've made sure that your eggs are boiled first!  :)

I, of course, made my usual "not cross" buns...  :)

Here's a close up of Dolly's lamb -- a lovely Shetland boy!

The three other ewes who have had lambs thus far -- all crosses -- let their lambs run and play with each other.  Dolly on the other hand -- if another lamb tries to get near her little one, she head butts it away!  She was not happy at all about me holding the lamb to tag and band...!

And I'll leave you with this sunrise for a change -- the photo really does not do it justice -- it looked like the sky was on fire!

6 ewes to go still -- I am losing hope of them all lambing in the first cycle!
