Winter last week now we have Summer.

 

Last week we had snow blizzards so bad we feared we would be stuck again. Yesterday & today Summer came calling. It's been so hot.

The croft is running with water since the thaw. I've taken to putting the sheep up on the lower apportionment during the day & bringing them back at night. There's a bad frost forecast otherwise we would leave them out. It's a bit of faff but the in-by fields are sodden & soiled & the grass is not really started to come yet. There are patches of grass on the apportionment & it's cleaner but I shall have to get them 'Spotted On' as the ticks are out after the thaw & the place is running alive with them - so that's another job on the 'first thing' list.
