With less than a week to go, we are all preparing for the start of lambing...which will be full-on untill the end of April, as well as calving, and then Ben and I start our exams. We had an unexpected calf two days ago, who is a little wobbly on his feet, but after some encouragement is now feeding well and growing stronger....despite a very bad-tempered mother.
Other signs of spring are also emerging on the island; pussy willows and catkins are thriving in the withies, the daffodils have sprung up near the abbey at the north end, and new arrivals such as sand martins have been flitting over the fields.
We have been quite adventurous in our free time; here are a few photos of what we have been up to...
The view from the top of the lighthouse...
Ben in 'Y Morlo Bach' with his first mate, Celyn...
Dad and I in the kayaks in Ogof Hir..
Celyn trying out a different type of sea vessel...
Trying out some climbs on small sea-cliffs...
