Good. I didn't mean close up company, but the sense that some of them were around close by. Poor lass.
If she’s lambing she won’t want company but she can see her mates through the rails and can smell them too so she’ll be fine
Poor ewe - I hope she has company.
There's Howard now putting up railings. Maybe this is an effort to control the amount of space she's moving around in?
No lambs yet? She's taking her time. Hope she's OK, but I'm sure you've got an eye on her..
She sounds like a steam engine puffing away
Okay Dan.. thanks.. night night...
good idea Margaret. I will put the camera back on full cycle.
Night night Lynda.. sleep well without any interruptions...
night night both ... hopeit goes straight forward in the night
I will take my Kindle up with me and watch for a while longer...
i think Im off to bed.... could be ages yet and Im getting ti ti
she has gone into 14 shippon
come on missis ... get into view properly
Oh yes... just about saw that
She is only just out of view by the sound of it
i may be imagining it but can i see a hoof right at the bottom
I'll leave it to you
It's your call Dan.. stay and hope she comes back into view or see how the others are doing..
spose Id better have a peep in through the door
She's taken her lamb with her
the only Daley Blind spot
haha Margaret is right - she's gone to a spot where no cameras can see
where the divil has she gone ?
peeking out from behind the boose
oh look she's had another.
mmmmm could be a while then yet
I've not seen any star gazing yet
has she pushed at all yet ?
lol... looks very perky for a newborn
I had sore eyes looking for the lamb then...
in theb ottom right corner behind the board
spose I should but really would like to see the first lamb out safely
These sheep are teasing us..
u goin to bed mother or what
yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawwwnnnn
Not this year Margaret, as the only time we did get them scanned, he got 70% of them wrong :
Did you have the scan like you did previous years to see whether there were singles, twins or triplets?
Hehe.. I gathered you meant the others Lynda..
It's heads up we need... nose pointing upwards
the other girls I mean, Margaret.... not you !
much the same as this = very little activity.
big , fat and slow Margaret >>>>
have we had any pushes yet ooorrrrrrrrrrrr
Hehe... it's the anticipation...
the inactivity is like watching paint dry
Her body language says otherwise Dan.... animals are psychic I reckon...
I don't think she can tel;l she's being watched that number in the bottom by the camera doesnt seem to work either
she is quite a big sheep so she should be ok
if her lambs have as fat a head as hers ... :
Maybe she doesn't like an audience
mooch about till the early hours
probablyshe has been mooching about all day and will probably do the same tonight,,,
i dont know why they do that. I just refersh the page when they go weird like that
Comments are on repeat....
waiting for the butch sheep to get on with it
I don't think they're listening Dan..
I will have a word, Margaret
Well, I'm watching Question Time as well as watching the sheep so hopefully she will produce her baby before the programme finishes..
is she going to get on with it or have us hanging all night
Thanks Dan.... and thanks Helen... good poem and I could understand it.. hehe
Hi Margaret and Helen - I think the link is there but the website didn't parse it properly. here it is: www.bbc.co.uk/northyorkshire/voices2005/glossary/barrie_rhodes.shtml
Oh, dear, let me see if I can find it. Oh, I see the problem - well, it is at least 10 years old, maybe more. Let me see if I can send you a printed version.
I tried the link Helen but it said 'page not found'
Margaret, here is a Yorkshire dialect poem about the 'coyle hoyle', [link] by a friend of mine.
off to have ten minutes with Ben now... will see whats happening when I get back... Howard is watching from in here now
Meg and Meg oil didnt sound right
it used to be the pig oil but we got upmarket when we got K
how come we have meg's house then?
Ah... I see.. thanks Lynda
we have the coil oil, the wood oil, the hen oil, the pig oil etc....
it's where we keep the coal, Margaret
the coal is kept in there
its dialect Margaret, for the coal hole
Why is it called the coil oil... it's a peculiar name
she has taken herself into the coil oil on her own
I was just thinking whether she could get here from where the others are..
It looks like something's happening!
have u separated her off or has she made er own way into the coil oil
this one with all the coil in ?
I think the butch shep is lambing in new 7 shippon
And meanwhile, those lazy ewes in the barn sit and sit and sit, and munch and chew and sit some more. Girls, get with the programme!
There are still people walking on the beach at 2-36am as they are 11 hours in front of England,
Oh, that's a hard choice, but I think I would take Yorkshire, having walked on Bondi Beach (in the winter, which didn't appeal much!)
Mind I am watching Bondi Beach as well makes me very undecided where I would like to be
Makes you want to be in a field somewhere in Yorkshire,Gods own County
Good morning. That's a lovely green scene.
