Bunnies and Lambkins

What a mixed bag of weather!
We were away for the Easter weekend, staying with my nephew in Leicester.
The plan was to build two huge raised beds for vegetable growing.
Luckily Good Friday was beautiful and we got it all done on one day, with many hands to help.


I wondered why I was quite so tired....on Easter Saturday, I came down with the fluey thing which is going around. I felt rather aware that I was contagious and hope no-one else comes down with it.
The house was full of family.

Our journey was quick on the way home and we crossed the Dartford Bridge as the sun set.





On Easter Monday, the end of hurricane Katy reached us.
We needed broccoli for our dinner.
I didn`t really feel well enough to go out, but we made a quick visit well wrapped up and were very glad to catch up with Anne.
We discussed the new fruit trees, whether to have the craft trolley this year and other plans.
We eventually found our plastic tea table, over in the horses` field in 5 pieces!!!
And a couple of scarecrows were lop-sided, otherwise no damage.






The bunnies are back and enjoying the sunshine but not the wind.




The polytunnel is beginning to shape up.







The new gates have arrived.


The new lake remains full.






And the first lambs have been born, a little unsteady on their legs, 
having only been born that morning.

    1. I think it will be very nice when grass grows across the banks then we can have a teabreak there. However this may stop us getting on with jobs!!!

  2. Haha typical, we left on Sunday mid morningish, sorry we missed you. Looks as though the ewes were waiting for us to leave too, still at least I get to enjoy seeing them here. Hope you're feeling better, there have been so many bugs and viruses going around lately, they are not nice at all x x

    1. In the circumstances, you may have been glad to have missed our germs...... but I did have a little something in my basket for you. When are you coming next?
