Pastures new

We've opened up the bottom field for the goats. (The bottom of the bottom field has featured before). It's a long way from their stabling and they are nervous of being in there - but it's got the best vegetation for them, and it's west facing so it's the warmest field and we want them to graze there. But every time you coax them in and then head off to do another job...you look back and they've returned to their familiar lands.

The best way of keeping them in the field is to sit with them (of course we could shut the gate, but we want them to have access to the stables all the time - I dunno - ask Jussi).





Yesterday was a glorious morning so I got the Sunday papers and sat in the field with them. I managed to read nearly all of the Herald and the Observer virtually uninterrupted.


Slight distractions were Flavia who thought the Observer in particular was very tasty......
