Farming in the Yorkshire Dales

Leegate Farm, Malham

An extremely variable week! But we like to show up and get it done regardless!

Just posting this here too before somebody on Facebook reports it. 😆 I absolutely detest this pence of barely human filth.

New lamb this morning! This was a bit of a surprise - he was meant to come a lot later, but he’s a very healthy ram lamb who is currently enjoying the sunshine with his mum :)

Ronald Lampitt - A Farm in February published in Treasure Magazine, 1963 Ronald George Lampitt (1906 - 1988) was an English artist and illustrator. He is best known for illustrating children's books and railway posters. He was born in Worcester, and grew up in Kent and Sidcup, where he lived his whole life. Limpart never received any formal art training.

Lampitt often illustrated the Kent countryside. He would often spend weekends sketching with his friend Rowland Hilder. In 1938, Lampitt married Mona Deverson before commencing work for British Intelligence during the Second World War. This experience might have developed Lampitt's technical drawing and topographical accuracy.

Lampitt's friend and brother-in-law, Harry Deverson was a Fleet Street journalist. He was connected with publishers and was able to find illustrating work for Lampitt such as the popular weekly magazine, 'John Bull'. The two also worked collaboratively to produce two children's books: "The Map that Came to Life" (1948) and "The Open Road" (1962).

During the 1950s and 60, Lampitt illustrated railway posters for British locations including Bexhill-on-Sea, Harlech Castle and St Michael's Mount in Cornwall.

There’s No ‘Humane Meat’ Says Vegan ‘Game of Thrones’ Star Jerome Flynn

Vegan actor Jerome Flynn has states that despite labels such as "high-welfare," "organic," or "free-range," there is no such thing as humane meat.

If we’re true to our own values, can we really justify inflicting all this suffering and violence on these emotionally sensitive smart individuals? Just for a fleeting moment of taste?” he asked. “I don’t think so.”

The lambs in the linney come to say hello!

The lamb with the funny colouring is really shaping up well, and comes up to us to try and eat our fingers!

This is Orange, he’s got a bit of a funny leg at the moment so he’s in a separate pen in the linney with his mum and sister. He walks on his tiptoes rather than the main hoof of his foot as he had a bit of a knock from an unobservant ewe when he was newborn, so we’re hoping that the separate pen will give him time and space (no larger sheep to knock him around apart from his mum) to heal his leg.

And here is his sister. She is very loud and very cute.
