Tree Planting Sunday

Well, we're another day closer. Sunday's not my favourite day - we don't usually do anything with the sheep other than just feed them and check them, but when I know it's going to be busy soon, a quiet day isn't so bad really.

It was a good day for Skye today. She loves Sunday. We thought she needed a bit of cheering up after the bad news she got yesterday about the lambing so we all went off to finish planting trees in one of the new woods. There's nothing Skye likes better than a hole and she saw lots today. Tree planting is now officially her second favourite job, after fencing (you get some seriously big holes fencing) and she was even persuaded to postpone her resignation until Monday.

The Princess got stuck into some sort of mud bath treatment while she was pottering about the woods. She and Skye wondered off and, boy oh boy, I have NEVER seen anything get as dirty as she was when she came back. I had to look twice and was about to growl when I finally recognised her. Talk about trouble!! She had to be shampooed twice immediately we got home, the soft lump.

Still, we'll sleep well tonight - even Skye

Take care
