The Waiting Game

Surprise surprise, the electric board have responded. They will quote within the next fourteen days. Not much else has happened over the last few days. Currently we are on a waiting game. The water expert should be sending us a quote, the gas board are going to come out and mark where the high pressure gas pipe is (we cannot start digging trenches for the water pipes until we know where the pipe is) and the architect is supposed to be sounding out the local planners to find out if they would be in favour of us demolishing the house and rebuilding a new one. We are also waiting for the weather to improve so that we can start doing some maintenance to the farm buildings. Geoff has a lot of doors and gates to repair.


Last Thursday the final sheep to lamb had twins. Lambing has been very drawn out as we began at the end of January and we were beginning to think we would never finish.


Millie has been and had her second inoculation today. She is growing fast and putting on weight.
The breeder has given us another puppy to replace Tess. We are very apprehensive but have brought her home and the vet has checked her over. She is much smaller than her sister and needs to put on some weight. Although they are sisters they are arguing a bit so need watching so that they can bond again.
