Trying to stay warm!

It's a touch of "Halt - who goes there?" from Fyta who was on gate guard duties one day!  Not a lot has been happening this week as animals and humans kept a low profile trying to avoid the raw, bitter easterly wind.

This was taken on Monday and was the only snow we saw this week - unlike many of you in the south, and especially Cumbria who have had to endure the blizzards.  One again we seem to have escaped the worse of the weather - touch wood!

This tranquil scene was recorded about 6.00pm mid week and the boys had settled down for the evening.  Unfortunately they were in the wrong paddock so they had to get up and be moved - accompanied by lots of moaning and camel noises!

Another day, another lie down.  Rufus is nearest to the camera with Wee Eck just behind. These two were the last boys to join the herd a couple of years ago and they have frequent spats and stand-offs as they square up to each other.  But just as frequently they can be seen lying next to each other, chewing the cud contentedly and happy with each other's company.  Eck doesn't do neck wrestling because he is so much smaller than the others, he just does the full body slam!  Males, eh?!

And finally..........Faro has a lie down watching his pals with the nearly completed house and smaller garage/workshop behind.  The forecast is for more cold weather and perhaps snow in the week ahead leading up to Easter.  This time last year we were in T Shirts - what a difference!
