Windsor Castle taken last July. PM.

For the past two night our broadband connection must have gone down for a minute or two. When I got up yesterday morning the webcams were off. When I came down about 4.am this morning they were off again. When they do go off I can see what time it has happened. Both times it was about 1.am. I will check them at about 1.30am overnight to see if they have gone down, Ill turn them back if they have.

I spoke to the Veterinary today about Emmi seeping colostrum from her teats. If she doesn’t have the Foal soon we may have a bit of a problem. What ever happens the Foal will need the colostrum otherwise there is very little chance of it living for more than a short while. Emmi is not loosing a vast amount of the colostrum, but an amount that if she stands in one place for any length of time it is noticeable on the ground. We will have to wait and see and hope that she Foals very soon.

There has been a herd of Red Deer in the valley on and off for the past few weeks. I counted seven last night, but I should think that there would have been more in the woods. Going by the Forum this morning, with a couple of people seeing them this morning, drinking out of the stream they must have stayed all night. They could be the Herd that were involved in the Rut that we had here in the Autumns. Until a few years back, most years some gave birth in a clearing in the wood on the left hand side of the valley. We only ever saw one Calf in all of that time. At the time I wasn’t very pleased to see them, they would eat a lot of my grass that we needed for the Cattle that we kept. Now we only make hay from the grass. As much as I would like to have the hay, its good to know that the Deer are having it. With a bit of luck the Deer may give birth here, and who knows we may see a Calf.

I got a photograph from Bliss and Misty’s Trainer today. It was of Misty on the gallops. It is not because she is my Horse, but she looks really good. I am not going to put the photograph on the Photo page until I get a photograph of Bliss, the Trainer said he will try he would try to send one tonight. All going well I will be able to put two on tomorrow.

There are five new photographs on the Photo page, starting from number eleven.

The first one is of Ramsden, our Portland Ram that died last week.

Taken when I visited the Dingle peninsular in Ireland, last October. Rose (FF)

I am glad I wasn’t the one on the end of this, Ugh. It is a little girl from Bristol. Elsie

The first photograph is of our Portland Ram that died last week. It was taken by Vicky whilst on Holiday here with her parents. The Photograph could have only been taken a day or so before he died. We are pleased we have it as we never did take a decent photograph of him.

When Ramsden first came to Denbury he was a bit of a swine. Although he had large horns because of his breed he wasn’t that big. He also had quite a kind face. I have never really had any fear of any animal. Don’t get me wrong, I have had to run as fast as my legs would carry me on a number of occasions, when that was the only way at the very last resort when I was knew that I was going to get hurt if I hadn’t, so Ramsden was never a threat. But he charged at me a few times and it was quite painful. Once was when I was checking on the Lambs in the field last year. He just charged without any warning. The other two occasion’s was when the Sheep were in the pen that they are in now, and we were catching then to be shorn. After a while he never bothered charging again. He must have realised that wasn’t a threat.

We put the Sun on the Astro webcams yesterday and this afternoon. It was wandering a bit more than I wanted it to, so as the Moon was out I put the Moon on early. This is the longest dry and clear spell for a good while so I put the Telescope on as much as time allows me to. Trouble is that it take a while to focus in on the planets and it is quite cold in the Observatory. After broadcasting Saturn I will give Jupiter a try. Jupiter is a lot closer to the earth so it should be easier to show. The Telescopes computer tells me that it will rise after 6.30pm, but what time it will be able to be seen I am not sure. When it is darker I will use my finder to see where it is. As long as it is not to late I will put it on.

This was taken at Beamish Open Air Museum a wonderful place to go if you want to re-live your past or the younger ones to see how we lived. I have more if anyone would like to see them. Elsie.

I have posted three photographs on the photo page The…

I have posted three photographs on the photo page. The first is of our new Broodmare. The second is of the new Filly Foal, the last being a photograph of an Osprey nest location. I will get more spaces to add more photographs on the photo page. Unless we do with the amount of photographs you are sending in will only be on the photo page for a day. I will try to get the page increased to take twenty photographs, unfortunately the more that are added will take longer to upload.

The new Horses arrived early this morning. They both came off of the Horsebox very calmly. The Broodmare is a seven year old chestnut. She is due to Foal in March. We have put her in the Arnie’s stable, free to walk about in the corral that is in front of the stables. She went to the drinking trough for a long drink and started munching on her hay. She is a nice looking Mare and seems very laid back. Her racing name was Eminent Lady, I haven’t managed to find out what her stable name was, odds on its Lady. She really doesn’t like being stabled. We put her in a stable so that the Filly Foal could have a walk around. For most of the time that she was in the stable she was scrapping and lightly kicking her feet.

The Filly Foal is as we expected, a bit wild. We managed to get her into Breezes stable, but when the Broodmare went out of her site she looked as if she wanted to jump over the stable door, so we had to close the top door. After a while she calmed down and started to eat her hay. After a couple of hours we were able to open the top door, and late this afternoon we went in the stable with her. She was very good, so we let her walk around the corral. She is going to need a lot of handling and fuss made of her. Being only weaned for a couple of days she will be completely lost and frightened. She would not have had much human contact, probably looking buy her coat, she has only just come in off of the field for the first time since she was born. She will soon get over it, especially with all of the other Horses calling out in excitement and anticipation of the new arrivals. The Farm is a little noisy. I was able to give her a good look over when she was walking around the yard. My first impression is that she looks a very good type. Large rear end, wide chest and big boned, and by the look of it the only feed she has had is her Mothers milk and grass. We put feed in front of her but she didn’t seem to know what it is, she will soon learn and like the feed. Over the next days we will handle the filly so that we can tidy her up and get a rug on her. We have decided that her stable name will be Gypsy. If she was to be good enough to race, it will not be her racing name, that will be Willows.

The scenery photograph is off an Osprey nest site in Delaware, USA. We have been asked to advise and supply the equipment for webcams at the site. When I first looked at the photograph the nest seemed out of place, no doubt because it being the complete opposite to the Lock of the Lowe’s natural surroundings and the nest being in a tree. A lot of the nest sites in the UK are on artificial platform nests as the Delaware site, but in remote locations. After looking at the photograph a few times, I am getting to like the location, it looks very busy with the houses, boats and the Geese swimming under the nest. The photograph was taken by Peters my contact in Delaware, from his veranda that over looks the site.

It was good to see a pair of little Grebe on the lake this morning. Cant say I was best pleased when one of them came up from under the water, after diving, with one of my fish in it mouth.
