Wednesday, Sue and i were on a Care Farm Training course, so Gerry was left in charge (with the help of Ella who's home from college!) Bob was on hand helping all day too.. They cleaned out the stinky duck pond and found two duck eggs in their house. They all checked the incubator - which we hope is going to hatch out, Rhode Island Reds, Bantams & Cotswold Leg Bars, at Easter! Then they all had a go at dry stone walling - breaking bits off the stones, making them flat, preparing the ground underneath. Of course there's still a pen load of lambs to feed - 14 last count...so plenty of hands on lambing going on!

Thursday, Mike was here helping and all 3 students arrived. We thought we'd make a start on the flat packed fruit cage - however, it took Mike & Mike (carer) most of the morning to work out the instructions....suffice to say there are a few rather wobbly metal rods up so far..! We had to spend at least half an hour mending fences in the sheep field as about 20 or so naughty lambs have been 'burrowing' out and then can't get back to their mums for a feed!Pm we went down to Cerney House again, for a treat. The tulips look amazing - well the whole garden looks lovely - and it's a real joy to see everyone so happy, wandering about admiring all the flowers!
