Reports indicate we had triplets and twins last night in the lambing shed and that the Rose family have a new granddaughter. Mother and baby doing well.

In our family we arrived at the Royal Hallamshire Hospital, expecting to bring Number Two son home from day surgery only to find they had done both jobs on his knee instead of just the one. That’s good, but the result of four hours under general anaesthetic was that he had to stay overnight. So I’m setting off for another three hour round trip in a few minutes.

It wasn’t a total waste of time because we did visit some nice farm tea rooms and spent our time in the hospital cafe planning or our 2015 events so watch this space. Big things are afoot!

We eventually got home and checked our emails to find two messages from people wanting to come to the farm with groups, so the day ended on a high.
