Farm Open Day

Silcocks Organic Farm, just up the lane from our house:

Spring

So many signs of spring in the Kent countryside today...



The first wood anemones of the year - the woods will be full of them soon.



celandine



lambs!











and the first butterflies of the year, sunning themselves with the primroses.

It's definitely spring!

Some of us are busy making babies:



Not entirely sure the frogs realise the pond isn't the size of a young lake, but we spotted 15 frogs busily doing what comes naturally. 14 of them swam away when they saw me.



some of us are still searching for our dream home:



We just want our mums :-)



Are you my mum?



No, you're not. Mum? Where are you?



My final photo comes with lots of warnings and disclaimers! We were on a public footpath, we did not approach the sheep or disturb her in any way by straying off the path, and we told a farm labourer what we'd spotted....




you might not want to look if you're squeamish or eating your lunch...





but this mummy sheep is just doing as nature intended...

Care instructions for washing wool say dry flat...

but nobody told the sheep!
