Grazing

On our way up to the forest, we pass this dairy farm. Most of the fields nearby belong to this farm, including the ones surrounding our house. I noticed today that the cows were out for the first time since the autumn. That must feel wonderful. They go back into the milking sheds twice a day, but meanwhile enjoy a kind of freedom, grazing the fields.

This view is looking across the Cairn valley to where our house sits beneath the hill.

We had a lovely video call with Sarah and Chris this morning. It was almost bedtime where they are. I find it hard to be out of sync, but it is miraculous that we can speak at all, across the miles, and they were pleased to see Merry looking happy and well :-)
