Spring Things

It was a bit dull this morning, but at least it remained dry as we took a walk around the 'Farm Walk'. The Spring Lambs are still looking absolutely gorgeous but this Soay Sheep mother was keeping her lambs well away from us on the other side of the field.

Soays are particularly hardy little sheep and is physically similar to the wild ancestor of all domestic sheep. Their youngsters are adorable too.

On the road-side banks close to Head House Farm, Bluebells are beginning to show their colour as the Daffodils fade behind them.

Even on the dullest of days, Bluebells give good value...

and their colour seems to glow in the fresh green grass - even here on the dirty road-side.
