Easter

This morning I took my mother over some Hot Cross Buns.  She said she'd bought some from Marks on Thursday - they were handing out tasters and she said it was the most delicious bun she'd had in years.  I said "that's because for the last 30 years you've had to eat the ones I bake".

 

Well, they've all been eaten now, but I plan to make an Easter Plait tomorrow.

Whilst most people are enjoying a relaxed Bank Holiday, Jonathan's been working his socks off.

He's put the ewes to lamb in the back paddock with the Alpacas - Big Boy and Barney come up every time a ewe lambs - they are fascinated by it.

and then brings them down to the paddock behind the house once they've lambed (it's a bit more sheltered).

and they stay here for a day or two before they go out to the big field.

The two at the back are as spotty as Dalmatians
 

 

 

Because it was warm I let the pet lamb have a run around in the grass

She was very curious about everything.

Off to pick up George tonight - can't wait to hear about his adventures on Lundy.

 

Happy Easter from Lorne Hill Farm!
