Loving my accidental wildflower bed. Sometimes total abandonment works out better than if I had weeded it. 🌸🌼🌺🌻 (at Dorset) https://www.instagram.com/p/CP0AxJ1H2HS/?utm_medium=tumblr

Another set of triplets. 16 lambs out of 7 ewes!!. All finished now, I can finally have a full nights sleep. Hats of to those that lamb hundreds 😳 #lambtriplets #lambingoverfor2021 https://www.instagram.com/p/CPy2opoHROP/?utm_medium=tumblr

Breakfast in the barn waiting for the next lamb to arrive. (And hoping I’ve finished my crumpets before I have to intervene 🤢☺️) (at Dorset) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPsGORXH43I/?utm_medium=tumblr

Lambing has started a week early here. Woke up to a lovely surprise this morning. Looks like I’m on lambing watch a week earlier than expected. #springlambs #wishtheywereallthiseasy (at Dorset) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPXZ-L3Hwrz/?utm_medium=tumblr

The smallholding is now FULL!!. Many thanks to @sebs.saddlebacks for supplying our two Saddleback Weaners this year. I love them, although the sheep are not so sure 😂 #saddlebackpigs #pigsonthesmallholding (at Dorset) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNxDRI_H8_d/?igshid=1tqqm3859ze2b
