A week in a holiday cottage...

We bought three new Suffolk tups at the annual tup sale at Dingwall Auction Mart.

Including them, we now have seven tups, which we are feeding at the moment to keep them strong and healthy.

The day after that we were up early to drive down to Kendal in England to stay in a holiday cottage for the week.

The cottage was on a livestock farm with sheep and cattle. The landscape was totally different there compared to where I live as it was very hilly and the fields were surrounded by dykes rather than fences although there are a few dykes still standing on our farm and there are plenty of hills round about the area I live.

While we were staying there we took a trip to Blackpool and we went to the theme park there. I was the only one brave enough to go on the biggest rollercoaster there but even though I went on it by myself it was still great!

Most of the winter wheat nearby has been sown now and surprisingly there is a farm up the road just finished harvesting their last field of spring barley!
