I was woken this morning by a Whatsap message from Farmer Daughter. She was up earlier than me and out checking the ewes. She found triplets had been born overnight. An encouraging start to the day.
It was quite a frosty morning but another bright day with blue skies. This was the view from one of our attic windows. Not a bad view to take in while getting dressed.! I am having to use the top bathroom until the tap is fixed in my usual one. It's definitely worth it for the outlook!
Today is a special day. It's 95 years since the family moved to the farm. Bert and Florence moved here from a local public house initially renting it and then years later managing to buy it. Their last son Bill (farmer husband's dad) was born here soon after they arrived.
The house must have so many tales to tell. I wonder what the previous occupants would make of the current world situation.
Meanwhile farming life continues and farmer husband does a bit of sitting down farming by checking out the ewes with binoculars while he enjoys a cup of tea in the sunshine.
What a wonderful history! And beautiful views.
ReplyDeletePerfect family history, I love your hubby having a cuppa whilst checking on the sheep.
ReplyDeleteAll that family history in the same house is wonderful. Do you know what started the interest in farming?
ReplyDeleteA lot of country people did a small amount of farming alongside other work so they had been small farmers even when they ran a pub. The farm was also small when they moved there, just the 37 acres around the homestead.
DeleteWhat magnificent views you have both from the attic level to the ground level. It's so green!
