Nice day for it..

Another one of those days.
Kev of mucking out and bedding.
Me on mixing feed,shifting cows and calves about then after lunch ,an afternoon spent guddling about up the hill down a hole.
The water supply to the fields the blackie ewes and twins are in had stopped ,so had to go up the hill and find the under ground collection chamber. It is fed from a field drain which is fed from a gulley further up. The tank had filled up with silt,blocking the outlet pipe. So 3 miles back round the road ,get the tractor and tanker and back up to suck it all out. Then down to a trough to blow the muck back out the pipe.
By 7 pm it was running again,the terrier had enjoyed his time roaming about in the rushes,and I sat for 5 minutes admiring the view over to Edinburgh and Fife ,listening to a skylark singing it's wee heart out,one of the best sounds there is. So not all bad.
