A morning walk

I walked to the village for the bread this morning.
A cracking morning, cold, frosty with no wind, I enjoyed it. Had slight detour around the main road onto this quiet road through a farm yard.
You can see the sheep eating sugar beet. We have had lots of rain but the land is drying up a bit at last.
Some of the sugar beet have been harvested but the middle part of the field has been left for the sheep to forage for their own.

Three good things:
1. Helping to paint, all hands on deck.
2. Some rubbish to the tip in Harry's trailer.
3. Chinese for tea when the family get here. Lydia is back from uni to do her bit.

ooh Chinese food, lovely! even thought you have had a lot of rain it looks like it has all drained away rather nicely. I didn't know sheep ate suger beets. Nice to learn something new every day, thank you!

A lovely rural scene and nice to see the sun. It is sunny here too but windy and extremely cold!

Beautiful springlike scene Pat. We have the same sunshine here but accompanied by a wind straight from Siberia!! It is so cold!!

Thank you all. Sorry I'm being lax with the commenting tonight, have had family here for a meal after a days painting so short of time this weekend but am grateful for your comments.

Looks like gumboots or heavy duty tramping boots to go through here! I wonder if you ate mutton that had been fed on sugar beet, it would be sweet?

[Jane Pittenger]

Looks like lumpy walking

[Lois]

Sounds like you enjoyed your walk to town. Looks like a lovely place!

[Babs]

A lovely rural scene. I bet your wellies were caked in mud when you got home.

[Nick]

You're having a very busy time. Your daughter is lucky you're on hand to help out.

[Pat Knowles]

@maggiemae Ha ha maggie, not sure about that!

@nickspicsnz Well you want to help all you can don't you & I quite like painting!

Those sheep look pretty keen on the beet. Sounds a nice crisp morning for a walk.

[Wendy]

It doesn't look like there is a whole lot of food out there for them. But, then, they look fat enough so they will not starve!
