| Blooming buttercups - they drive us mad. Anyone got a simple, cost effective answer to them which does not involve spraying? We've put lime on the soil to no avail and we dead-head them as often as possible but still they spread. During one of the sunnier, but cold days this week we got the mower out to do battle with the weed. |
 |
| The boys are wary of the mower, but not too concerned. They do group together though, probably a protective move for the herd. |

| Fergus in the background watching the mower and Faro in front keeping an eye as always on activities affecting the herd. |

| Fidget (Left), Gaucho, Gully and Wee Eck keep the mower in view. |
 |
| Almost finished and the boys join in the fun and run in front of the mower. |
 |
| And finally..........a bunch of colourful Geraniums enjoy some occasional sunshine. Hope you have not been too badly affected by the heavy rains in some parts of UK. |
Everyone seems to have lots of Buttercups this year...apart from getting a pony or two...no new here!
