Nola

Has had her head in the salt lick or she’s turning ginger on top! It’s very noticeable against the rest of her creamy – coloured fleece. The sheep spent the day in Willow before returning to their arcs in Fallen Oak for the night, a bucketful of hay was available but they didn’t seem that hungry, it’s warm enough for the grass to still be growing. The leaves of the Hazel hedge have turned orange and most of the Beech leaves have fallen, could be time for more hedge laying. A cloudy mild day with light winds.

Nola

Standing away from the flock some of the time, drinking more than usual and not eating unless fed by hand, Nola was upended and checked over. Nothing unusual, cleaned and trimmed her feet and applied the purple spray. Happy to eat from the bucket afterwards and much livelier this afternoon, so not sure what that was about, just wanted some personal attention, maybe? Added donkey poo to the bank in the meadow strip, would be good to sow flowers along the top once it’s rotted down. Everywhere still very soggy underfoot, heavy rain last night and a cloudy mild day with the occasional sunny spell.
