Little Lawrence one of our bottle fed lambs from last year. His mum had quads and couldn't cope with all of them. She rejected Lawrence and so we bottle fed him. He has had many adventures, including escaping from the field to arrive at the front door. We were being measured for new doors at the time. The salesman took it all in his stride as the OH scooped up the little scrap that then was Lawrence and carried him around while continuing to deal with the salesman. Quite norm

The pygmy goats have had enough of the British weather and are off back to Africa, from where they originate. Walking; well it may take them some time. Best they stay here for a while as its nearly time for tea. But I'm sure a bus will be along sometime soon. #Goats #pygmygoats #Wales #welshweather #Britishweather #walking #walkinginradnorforest #theforestsmallholding

The OH, commonly known as 'He That Can Build Things' came up trumps again with two new compost bins for me. The old one is full and needs turning and now it can + a spare one! Compost will be moved once the rain decides to stop ... #smallholding #smallholder #compost #makeyourowncompost #GYO #growyourown #veggies #vegetables #Wales #welshweather #theforestsmallholding #radnorshire

Building of shelters is ongoing. Although we have a lot of trees and hedgerows; give sheep a shelter and they will use it. So the OH / 'He That Can Build Things' is busy constructing shelters. And here it is 4th one done; only 2 or 3 more to go!. Sheep have already christened it during the rain last night. Just keep telling myself when mucking it out: 'its good for the garden ...' #shelters #diy #100usesforpallets #sheep #sheepshelter #jacobsheep #wales #Radnorshire #Rad

Well, its the Smallholders and countryside Spring Fayre at the RWAS in Builth Wells. I wnet off to have a look around, while he manned the stall. 'Dont spend too much' was ringing in my ears. A small Acer tree was calling me to take it home, so what could i do... He seemed fine with the purchase of my tree; he had just bought five piglets. #Wales #RWAS #Builthwells #Springfair #smallholdiersfair #smallholder #smallholding #trees #japanesemaples #Acers #piglets #pigs #large
