Haircuts and Lamb races

Friday night was boys’ haircut night.  Dobby and Spike were both walking round with their noses in the air - a sure sign that they can’t see very well!  Haircuts were accomplished easily and Spike also had his toenails trimmed.

On Saturday we went to the Farm Sale and there were crowds of people.  We couldn’t get near the auctioneer while he was doing the lots in the sheds and we nearly gave up but there were some gates we wanted so we went home and had dinner and then came back.  In the end we bought 2 gates, 2 feeding troughs, a pair of feeding troughs on legs (which I think are fantastic) and a water bowser.  Billy the Bowser was a bit of a devil to get home and he is not quite like other bowsers but he is already gaining a place in our hearts - more on him later!

Sunday has been more fencing for Carl (he is beginning to show an unhealthy fascination with all things fence related and I feel may need to take a break from fencing soon before he goes fencing mad).  I managed waste and observed (more important a job than Carl seems to think).

Carl went up to check on the boys early this morning and found Caedmon still asleep with Spike also asleep next to Caedmon and with his head lying across Caedmon’s back - they are very close.  Dobby was trying to play with the lambs, doing his leaping and waving his neck!

We had an enormous lunch of one of Dave’s legs.  It was delicious - really tender.  One of Dave’s lamb’s legs that is - not one of Dave’s own legs!   Those lambs have such a wonderful time I don’t feel bad eating them.  This one was a year old and if it started off like those up there now it must have enjoyed life.  They seem to gang up and they race up and down - doing somersaults and charging other gangs!
