Gizmo and her babies are doing really well - she has recovered from the mastitis and I took them to the cow pasture yesterday for a couple of hours but there cant be any grass as she frogmarched them round the field a couple of times at full speed (well, Gizmo's full speed, but it was quite fast!). It was cold in the wind, though so I brought them back in after a couple of hours. Nobody else looks like lambing yet, but on last night's 3am check I found the girls had been 'playing' with the water supply and pulled a joint apart so there was quite a lot of water gushing into the lambing shed so I had to turn off the stop tap until a more sociable hour when Kev could fix it. We brought five more sheep into the shed today, ones having single lambs, although one looks quite enormous so we'll have to watch her in case the scanner got it wrong as she hasn't had much feed and so would maybe struggle if she did have twins.
Mother's Day brought a lunch voucher for Lyzzick Hall including a bottle of bubbly from Matt, and a set of Rachel's beautiful hand-made jewelry, so they are both in the good books at the moment - long may it last.
