Hippety-Hop!

I nearly posted about this last week. But stopped myself, when it appeared my enthusiasm was premature. But today, as sunshine floods through the windows of Thistletonthwaite Castle, my suspicion is confirmed: 

SPRING IS HERE!

We can now stop worrying about newborn animals freezing in the fields.


A friend saw some tiny lambs wearing little coats, a sight I’d love to see.

It’s been such a long winter, and you struggle on, imagining bundling-up in a coat until June. Then, suddenly there is sun -- WARM sun. Too warm for a coat and scarf -- yippee!
