As we see plants spring into life again and some heat in the sun. I lift a bag of hay and underneath was a lovely bronze slowworm. Moments like that lift the spirit. Hazel catkins are in flower and the bright pink female flowers. The scent of the promroses in the air. 

Four cows are due to go, i will be left with three shetlands and my memories! These three are all over ten years old and full of personality.
