Yesterday I popped up (finally!) to see my friend Dawn, and admire her new goat kids and some ram lambs (surplus triplets) she is rearing for the freezer. I don't know HOW she gets any work done as those goat kids were so enchanting. Her husband had made them a scaffolding playground . . .
Even the mama goats enjoy playing up there too!
The caged bit is around the goat house where they sleep at night.
These lambs were waiting for their brekkers . . .
Happy lambs.
Happy alpacas in the sunshine.
Dawn showed me her new sewing machine - it even THREADS its own needle! She has so many embroidery programmes for this machine and her "old" one, and can speedily make up some lovely things. When she showed me some of the things it could do, and the lacey dreamcatchers she had been making and other projects, I felt like my sewing was back in the Neolithic!!!
I will catch up more over the weekend. About to go out the door here.
There's a bizarre "goat tower" at White Post farm centre. planks and chains and stuff.
ReplyDeleteLovely photo's of Dawn's livestock, she is a lovely lady.

If you go to Dawn's blog, Doing It For Ourselves in Wales http://doingitforourselfs.blogspot.co.uk/, you will get all her smallholding news first hand. Today Dawn put up a short video of her lambs gambolling in the sunshine. It is guaranteed to make you smile.
