Trouble with the locals!

It is now the middle of spring and we had hoped to have the roof completed by now. But as you were informed in our blog intro, this was always going to be a slow process while juggling demanding jobs and other committments.

But slowly and surely, a few more slates have been nailed in place. The garden has also been cleared (again!) and all the brush has been burned.

While we have been paying such close attention to the barn, some local vandals (baa!) have been attempting to demolish the old pig sty. The corner stones of the structure have come away leaving the large roof slab of slate loose. As the little lambs become bigger and fatter on the lush welsh grass, more force is behind their jumps when they catapult themselves off the unstable roof slabs. Looks like an emergency repair is in order. For years, attempts have been made to keep the lambs out of the garden and off the walls and outbuildings. 'The grass is greener on the other side' seems to be strongly bred into these mountain sheep.


The one who leads the pack has been named 'Cappaccino'. He may not be the biggest or strongest, but he is the most clever!!
