With all the wonderful weather we are having, the farm is as busy as ever!! Not only are we lambing, but many fields are getting sewn with spring barley & spring oats, ready to harvest in the summer. As the weather is so good, Duncan (my husband) had to keep working on through tea tonight. So for the 1st time this year, I got the chance to pull out my ‘super retro’ picnic bag, and fill it with a hearty tea to take out to the field. Over the last few days, I have been noticing such a change in the farms landscape. Instead of there being flat, lifeless, brown fields, I’m starting to see hints of colour bounce through them. Whilst out on a walk yesterday with our wee Jack Russell Jock, I gave the field a closer inspection. And to my delight, I could see the newly sewn beans breaking through the soil, ready to start there journey in the big wide world!
It's good to be reminded about all the hard work that goes into what we eat. Hope it's a good spring for you.

Too trendy by half - what happened to an old Sunblest plastic bag!!! Can't wait to see some pictures of wee lambies. Some new faces at the WGM today, and caught up with Caireen - ideas afoot! Have a good weekend, L x
