What a relief to be rid of the snow and back to normality. It looked very beautiful but prevented us from travelling freely and caused our first school of the year a few worries when they feared they might not be able to get to us. As it turned out, everything melted away in time and we are half-way through a lovely week. Milder temperatures and some sunny skies have made it a pleasure to be out and about although there was a sneaky cold wind in the spinney today during our Forest School session. The campfire struggled to heat us up but the children were incredibly resilient and made charcoal, sawed wood for pendants and wove things from willow without complaining! Thanks for that.
Three new piglets will be arriving next week as well as a new stag turkey with some females. We'd love to be able to hatch out some of their eggs so fingers crossed that they will be good and fertile. The bulbs are just poking up above ground so spring is definitely coming.
Quote of the week so far;
Q."What does a heifer become when it has had its' second calf?" A. "A sheep".
(Thank you, Eleanor!)
