@BlackadonFarm is my new account which will be just for the farm. I may not post as regularly on there, as it is going to be a really busy couple of months for me (busier than normal). This account will close at the end of this week (I may be able to bring it back later on)

Helen was between 10 and 12. She was a quiet, kind ewe, never caused any trouble. Reliable to the end. Looked exactly like her mum, Maud. I ran down the field as fast as I could when I saw her down again. Looked into her eyes and just knew. It was time to say goodbye.

We received our wool cheque this week: ยฃ95โ€ฆ. It cost us just over ยฃ200 to have the sheep sheared. It took us an hour and a half round trip to deliver them to the wool board. It cost us ยฃ15 in fuel. It isnโ€™t done for money. Itโ€™s simply done for the welfare of the sheep. 1

Helen has collapsed again for the third time. Clearly, something is very wrong. She is an old girl and I can't put her through any more. She's sat with her head in my lap, and I can hear and feel she's in pain.We've decided the kindest thing now is to put her to sleep.

Well, we're still here this morning! He's taken half a bottle of milk and been yelling on and off all night. Now he keeps trying to escape, so he will go out to the tame lamb pen for company, where we will keep a very close eye on him.

This lamb does my head in. It's not his fault, really. He's two weeks old now and was one of a treble. We left him on mum for ten days. She was feeding him, but as they grew, she was struggling. He won't take a bottle. He hates the machine. It takes a long time to feed him.

I donโ€™t agree with right to roam. Not until weโ€™ve taught everyone how to respect the environment theyโ€™re in and have dire consequences for those who donโ€™t. Nature is good for people. But people are often not so good for nature. Nature needs a home without people too.

Last night I hit 3000 followers on here. It may just be a fluke and Iโ€™m sure it will go back down again but 3000 people are tuning in to me. I canโ€™t even get the 3 in my house to listen and take notice. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

Mother has surpassed herself with this beautiful needlework of old MacDonalds Farm. Sometimes I wish I had half the talent she does. ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜

Iโ€™ve had a very low day today. Iโ€™m fed up of the weather, Iโ€™m fed up of the farm, Iโ€™m fed up of being stuck indoors, Iโ€™m fed up no one wants to do anything (other than work) and Iโ€™m crying out for something to change. (Sorry just needed to share it)

Today I have said goodbye to my furry friend of 16 years. The only dog I have owned (or rather owned me) from the day they were born. Run free Ollie dog. Thank you for everything โค๏ธ๐Ÿ’”โค๏ธ๐Ÿ’”โค๏ธ๐Ÿ’”

Squib is back in with mum today. He's been coming out daytime and then coming back in the house at night. Mum is a lovely old ewe who welcomes him back every morning. Today, it's noticeable that Squib has put on a bit of weight, and his leg bandage is off.

Paddy is up and about now. My dad popped over to see his new "Grandchild" and pointed out that this isn't Rhubarb. Duh, I'm so thick. This is Rose, and I've been calling her Rhubarb for two weeks. No wonder she didn't listen!

Look at my unusual strawberry. This process is called vivipary which means the seeds have germinated on the plant. It's one plant out of about 12 doing this. I've taken the seeds off one of the strawberries before it gets to this stage to see if I can get them to grow...

A holiday maker has complained to Farmer today because there's tractors on the road and they shouldnt be there... and they don't have them in Manchester. He was an awful holiday maker. The wife apologised, and the kids in the back told farmer that their dad was a CNUT.

Thank you to the person who had a celebration in the last week and let their balloon go... it landed in our field - luckily not in with the rams who could have got caught up in it, or worse. Don't worry, I'll deal with your rubbish for you! FFS

Rebel came running over for his milk this morning! And glugged down 3/4 of a bottle! It's like he's a totally different lamb! On a sad note, I've lost the lamb from yesterday. We didn't expect it, as he was taking milk yesterday really well and seemed to improve. 1

Small but mighty! It's always so pleasing when they get it! This is our tiniest lamb in our take lamb pen. Born a few days ago, mum.who had three, has struggled to feed two of them. We've had a lot of the trebles struggling to rear two lambs this year. 1

We've cleaned out the shed and moved everything onto completely clean and new bedding. The new antibiotic and supportive treatment seems to have helped red heart, who is back on his feet. That doesn't mean I'm confident he's okay now. Only time will tell.... ๐Ÿ™

Just in case anyone missed it, we put girlie down. As much as I got on top of the magnesium deficiency, she gave up, her body gave up, and it looked like too much damage had been done on the inside. It would have been cruel to keep her going.

Tonight I fling off my bra, shove on my jammies, break open a bottle of wine and eat my own body weight in crap food (and that's a lot) because today was the last day of homeschooling the longest week of the year. Anyone who F's this up again; I'm gonna hunt you down.

Ah my beautiful bottle babies! Tito has adapted to the feeder. This is a transition stage. Next I'll put on our milk feeder and they can regulate their own feeds (on demand is better on their tummies)

I think I can finally say Red Heart is out of the woods today from the pneumonia. He's had his third jab today, and it looks like nothing was ever wrong with him. Rebel also had a full tummy this morning. Not sure what it's full of, but it's a start. So no tubing required today.

A new update on Rebel: Just a week ago, he was skin and bone, and I really thought he was going to starve himself to death. Yesterday, when I picked him up for feeding, he had a lovely round belly and weight to him. Today, for the first time ever, he's taken 3/4 of a bottle. 1

The dead stock collection lorry came today to pick up the lambs we lost this lambing season. He was confused that we had so few lambs die. We were confused because we felt we had so many lambs die. Other farms have sadly lost a lot more. I guess itโ€™s a matter of perspective.

There is such joy in seeing a lamb that you nearly lost getting up and looking for milk from their mum โคโคโค It really is a time of great highs and lows!

This shall forever be known as The Coronation Gate. This gate has wanted replacing for over 20 years. For the 16 years I've been with farmer, it's been held up by hurdles and baler twine. This is more momentous an occasion for us than the new King.

My clever girlie has managed to get herself up on her own tonight. Itโ€™s really important that they can get up on their feet. I spent the afternoon lifting her and syringing in fluids and energy liquids. Sheโ€™s not out of the woods by a long shot. The next 24-48 hrs are crucial

Eek! I've decided to run sheep courses on the farm, aimed mainly at smallholders and those just starting with sheep. I've got my first 6 people booked in. I'm both excited and nervous!

It's our two month anniversary of getting Muddy Kitten, and he's finally rewarded me with a decent picture of him. He's been giving me a lot of love and affection while I've been ill. He loves to suck on my earlobes which is both annoying and cute (he lost his mum at 5 weeks old)

I grew up with: If there are no bins = you take your litter home If the bins are full = you take your litter home If the bins are too far away = you take your litter home Donโ€™t drop it My waste = my responsibility. Your waste = your responsibility It really is that simple.

I donโ€™t know whether it was the physio appointment yesterday, or that, in combination with the meds and the Tens machine, but this morning has been the first morning Iโ€™ve not woken up in agony for two weeks. It still aches but itโ€™s 1/4 of the pain. I almost feel euphoric!

It's not the best picture, but it's one of the best pictures I have of muddy kitten. Having a kitten in the house is like a toddler on steroids while on a binge high of skittles.... I wish I had his energy!
