The Met Office misled me. I was expecting passing showers, but instead we had a prolonged hammering from hail.
Despite this we did manage to get some of the Kew seeds planted.
More lambs today, but no photos in case any of my you start to suffer from cuteness fatigue. I’ll post more on Wednesday. You will have to make do with a picture of a robin singing in the barn. No, I’ve never seen one singing inside either, but as the front is open it’s easy to get in and out.
The final batch of ewes were due to start lambing today, but let’s face it, when do sheep ever do what they are supposed to do? It doesn’t matter, because we’re still knee deep in lambs from the main group, and have plenty more still to come as some of them are showing no urgency about giving birth.
The poultry emerged after the rain, as did the sun, so it ended on a positive note.
PS: Yes, I do realise that the title is both inaccurate (rain) and Americanised (rooster) but Hail, robins and cockerels just didn’t sound so good. Oh, and I just realised there was only one robin…
what a wonderful celebration so spring… and yea us Americans only use the term Cockerel when ordering chickens.

Ah. The alliteration. Congrats on the planting
Thanks. 😉
