Straw is too tough for the sheep to eat so they have a big bucket of hay between them twice a day to supplement the grass. More rain overnight so the spring is still running into the ditch and the puddles in the paddock are getting even bigger. Cut up the smaller branches from the oak tree to be stored and burnt as kindling in two years time, the rest went in the bin. The woodpeckers were on the lawn and a pair of pheasants were chasing round the borders. Didn’t spend much time outside, snow flurries most of the day with a cold biting wind.
