First fire of the year and Sid is loving it.
Not sure we appreciated the giant queen wasp that came bumbling out of the chimney though.

Took the dogs out on the field this morning. All the dewey spider webs were beautiful in the morning sun.
I'm no Jack Baty, but they're good enough.
One Year
It's been a year since my little sister, Lisa, took her own life and it's still awful every single day.
Got home around midnight. I have concussion and a couple stitches in my head, but nothing serious. Few other cuts and bruises too.
By far the worst part is my back though - it's in spasm and REALLY painful.
Soooo I managed to drive our mower off a 5 foot wall and land on my head. Just waiting for a CT now.
Gonna be a long night...
Amelia the Chicken
We lost our favourite chicken, Amelia, last night. She was the best.
Absolutely gorgeous sky this morning.
Nelly the pup absolutely loving life in the field! 🤣
This is what rainy days were made for. 🌧️🐶
Working great 👍🏻
Last November I replaced my oldest son's PC with an £88 iMac that was so successful that I'm now doing the same thing again for my youngest son!
Wife: I need help clipping the goat's hooves. Here, hold this...
Me: ...
I have a habit of giving all our pets nicknames, there's many of them for each of our dogs. We've Nelly for 4 days and already I have:
Nells Bells
Nelly Bean
Nelly Furtado
Man Eater (after the song)
Nelly the Elephant
It's anyone's guess which will stick. Our other dogs, Tia and Sid, are t-bone and squid (short for Sqidley) respectively. 🤷🏼♂️
New Pets, Sick Pets, and Hemorrhaging Money
It's been a crazy (and expensive) couple months at home!
Our new addition to the family, Nelly, has arrived and she's causing havoc already. 🤣
The poor buzzard was still there when I was walking the dogs this morning, so clearly something was wrong. Luckily my wife was able to get hold of a local falconer who was able to catch him and hopefully nurse him back to health. 🦅
Taking the dogs for a walk with our oldest and we came across this beautiful buzzard just sat there. Wasn't bothered by us really. I just hope it doesn't have a bust wing or anything.
Yup. Goat-proofing the chicken door really worked a treat. FML. 🤦🏼♂️
Today was spent goat-proofing the automatic chicken door. We recently moved it to ground level and now the goats use it as a scratch post. 🐐
It's a beautiful morning here in North Wales. My wife has taken our youngest to his cricket match, and our oldest is upstairs playing with his Lego out of the heat.
Me? I'm sitting in the sunroom, listening to the goats and chickens, with a coffee and book.
Perfect Sunday morning.
