Remembering Melvin the Mallard duck 💔 Last night we lost our wee Melvin. Yes, to some he was just a duck but I'll miss his importance in life - looking our for and looking after his beloved Swany and his BFF his turkey friend. He'd march around by their sides always fighting off any dangers he believed was towards them 💙 He will be very missed. Fly high wee Melvin 🦆

Such a nice day today I decided to go outside and take some random photos of some of our pets. Plus Christmas 🎅🤶 is just around the corner so I took some photos of our Christmas Tree and some decorations around out house 🎄 Today was a wee bit cooler, it's been soo hot lately 🥵 Keeping water up to everyone seems like a full time job 😕

Well I was excited for something to arrive over the weekend 🤗 We got two new sheep for the farm. Another rare NZ breed. Two pure bred Babydolls, a ram and an older ewe. Pretty excited to cross this breed with some of our Valais and Romney ewes. Plus hopefully our pure bred Babydoll ewe will also give us a lamb next season 🌳🩷🐑

Spring time, my fav time of the year 🐞🪻🌳 and ponies on the lawn. I'm sick of continually mowing them haha but grass is better than none 🌱🍀 so ponies get a wee time on the lawn when I'm home to keep an eye on them ☺️

I don't think I've said much about our sheep since our move to Waikari. They found it pretty tough going from Long Green Grass 🌱🍀 in Rai Valley to nothing here when we moved in March. We've fed hay, dried apples, pellets, baleage and a little grass just to try and keep weight on and for a few gain back weight. Anyway we finally have grass growing. 🙌😀 Last weekend they all got shorn and to my surprise all looked in rather good condition apart from the young two 🐏 They need to gain a little more weight. Today we finally got the go ahead to use part of the paddock next door, to graze it down. There's soo much grass, the sheep are in heaven 😇🌱🍀 I have a wee surprise turning up next weekend, so watch this space. I'm pretty excited 🤗

Our babies are growing, even little Blossom 🌸 has grown soo much 🐮

This was also their first time on grass in a paddock. They were very excited once they'd worked out the grass thing 🌳🌿☘️

We picked up our new calves today. We weren't planning on having calves here in Canterbury but here we are 🤣☺️

As some of you know but many of you won't we've moved from Marlborough to Canterbury ☺️ We moved about 4 weeks ago and are now feeling alot more settled. We brought down with us majority of the animals 🐶🐴🐃🐈‍⬛🐓🦃🐣 It was a huge move with with help from some special friends and family we made it 🙏👍🥰

I have a wee collection of photos of us living here in our new home 🏡 Hopefully now that we're more sorted I'll get back into posting more photos etc more regularly 😊
