Alex is feeding lots of calves twice a day six days a week at the moment.
Nina doesn’t like her pram so she is helping mum….not used to calves so hopefully she will be more settled in a while & be happy to sit & watch.
This is what thousands of farmers wives do all over the world….part of the job!
Three good things:
1. Harry & I visited the house today & so much has changed in the last few days.
2. All our family have gone north to Braemar for a wedding. Seems strange being in the house on our own.
3. We have the wood burner on & the cat is loving it!
Wow!! A real worker with baby on her back.
Hope all the rain didn't spoil the wedding today. We've had some very heavy showers!
Good news on the house front 👌
Ooh, the woodstove sounds very tempting (but not really cold enough yet!) Yes I've seen farmers wives on tv recently with babies in tow. There was one tonight on channel 4 on the programme about Wales.
@sarah19 Wedding on Sunday Sallie, well it’s a blessing really as they got married quietly last year but having their celebration at Mar Lodge with all guests that couldn’t go to the service.
@julzmaioro Nina not enjoying it so much & I think Alex finding it too much so they are wanting an assistant…300 calves is a lot of work for one plus baby! Would be easier perhaps if she was mobile.
Such a lovely farm scene! Lots of dedication needed to keep a farm, I would say. I like how Nina is trying to see what mama is doing from over her shoulder.
Haven't bumped into your family members yet! Hope the wedding went well. Great 'farm' scene, and fascinating to think of the farmer's wife working like this. Needs must, I imagine!
Hope all the rain didn't spoil the wedding today. We've had some very heavy showers!
Good news on the house front 👌
