Growing up

Back from Ascot, we had a fabulous day - great racing and hardly any rain. While we were away the baby swallows in Splodge's stable have fledged and are flying, quite expertly, in endless circuits round the garden. Also, the ewes were separated from the lambs yesterday. The lambs have remained in the field underneath our bedroom window and needless to say there was much plaintive bleating last night, though already this morning everything is quieter.
