Sewing, Sheep and Clematis

My next project is sewing scrub caps. I’m trying to do the same process on each cap in turn to save time. Here they a have all been pinned and two have been tacked. I’m hoping to get them sewn tomorrow. The weather’s been so good that I’m gardening much of the day too, today planting the Sugar Snap Peas and potting up the Kalettes (Flower Sprouts)  that I have brought on from seed and prepping the box for them with shovel loads of compost.

The lambs spend much of their day being really sedate, just munching away at the grass near to their mothers and then suddenly, they all gather and race around the field, jumping and scrambling and leaving their mothers munching and murdling at their youngsters.  It seems the lambs have reached their teenage ‘years.’ I have not managed to video them yet as their moments of madness are sudden and brief. Here is a peaceful video for you, full of birdsong.

Another Clematis has come into flower, Huldine, very pretty with its touch of green in the white and its purple centre.

Lambs, A Bell and Dessert

Moments before I took this photo both lambs were lying in the warmth with their faces turned to the sun. They were enjoying the sunshine as much as we were!

Today the lovely Mr S put up a bell that our lovely neighbour gave us for Christmas. It is to call one of us in for tea or the like if  busy in the garden. Today we needed it and the beautiful tone carried right up the garden.

Yesterday evening was a Bring and Share supper and I made a recipe that I have been saving for the occasion having seen it in my new cookery book. Knowing that there would be a number of vegans in the group, I guessed it would go down well and it did. It was as delicious as it was pretty.  There were just two slices left for our supper tonight!
