HAPPY NEW YEAR 2019



OUR LIFE HERE WITH HENS IN THE ORCHARD IS STILL VERY HAPPY. WE NOW HAVE 12 GORGEOUS FLUFFY  EAST FRIESLAND SHEEP. THEY ARE A VERY GENTLE DOCILE BREED OF MILKING SHEEP.  THEY HAVE A VERY BONY ANGULAR SHAPE WITH A LONG FLESHY TAIL, SUPER SLIM LEGS AND  LARGE EARS THAT GIVE THEM A GOAT LIKE APPEARANCE - AS WITH ALL SHEEP IF YOU GET TO KNOW THEM WELL THEY WILL HAVE REAL PERSONALITY. VERY MUCH CREATURES OF HABIT AND MANY WOULD DISAGREE WITH ME BUT VERY INTELLIGENT TOO. LAST YEAR IN JUNE ALL FIVE EWES HAD GORGEOUS LAMBS. THEY HAVE BEEN WITH THREE YOUNG RAMS SINCE NOVEMBER SO WE
ARE HOPING FOR MORE LAMBS THIS YEAR.





WE  STILL HAVE  LOTS OF CHICKENS AND 3 EBDEN GEESE, A WEST OF ENGLAND GOOSE. SADLY MITTENS OUR LITTLE BLACK AND WHITE CAT JUST DISAPPEARED BUT WE STILL HAVE HER SISTER SHADOW.
