Holiday Baking

It's all very informal around here during the hols.
Meals are often not at the usual times and sometimes not the usual fare......



so when there's a cry for pancakes, it's time to don an apron and make your own.....



and very tasty they were too!

All the Fun of the Farm

An overnight sojourn to my brothers farm to celebrate his littlests 4th birthday and a chance for a catch up.
Here is the birthday girl rounding up cows in her party frock.
 
 
Here are his beautiful multi award winning brown and white ladies (Ayrshires) coming home for milking....





 And here are the cowhands.....



...a bit different from my day when you walked around the field, usually with a dog.
I can vividly remember lying in the grass when a cow got up from lying down and feeling the grass warm against my cheek where her big body had lain.




Great fun to be had feeding the numerous new calves.





Even more fun having a go on some of the boys toys....


All very nostalgic.
