Paddy

Poor old Paddy is feeling a little bit left out at the moment, so I went and gave him a bit of attention yesterday as the snow got underway again.

Phillip had lit a bonfire which made the whole paddock feel festive.

And the calves were appreciative.

Roast beef anyone?

Frosty morning

OK, so it's not baby pictures, but when I was going to pick Andy and Penny up from the hospital it was yet another "isn't it great to be alive" moments driving up out of the vale. And as if to confirm this, a skein of 300 Pink-footed Geese flew over.
