Last Frost

On the final day of 2025, we awoke to a big frost. There had been a few recently, but after my dad's injury just before Christmas, I had been dashing off every morning to feed the sheep at Bannon's Land. I decided on this morning to take the time to visit the pets with the camera.

Sorry, boys, I have ewes to feed!

Treat Time With the Pets

I spent some time with the pets. It's one of my favourite things to do. They have a bale of silage now, which they are loving. Astrid said hello.

Rosie was ignoring me. She was busy.

Astrid had something on her face.

Eventually Rosie had enough.

The sunset was lovely.

Billy wandered off briefly, but he was soon coming back - for treats!
