Will there be lambs tonight?

It's sad about the tree, but look at it this way - free firewood to keep you all warm and cosy. I'm thankful no sheep were near it. Now there will be some sawing and chopping added to your daily chores.

At 17.21.52 On rewind you can hear that splendid Beech tree crashing to the ground! The cam was filming in the barn at the time! It will surely be missed. Amazing there were som sheep in that area at the time. I am so pleased they all escaped!

Is it the tree that we all sat under in 2008 first year of using the web.

I'm sorry about the beech tree but glad that it isn't the one I thought it might be. Such a shame to lose such an ancient tree.

No, Margaret. Here is a link to a blog post i made just now about it. I think the one in the middle of the field has a few years left in it [link]

Is that the beautiful tree in the middle of the field where the sheep shelter from the sun in the summer?

RIP Marlfield Ancient Beech Tree...Hopefully no person or sheep injured by it's fall

I was just out feeding the sheep and heard and almighty crash. The massive beech tree that sits at the bottom of the lambwatch field has crashed to the floor. It could take no more of this horrible weather and has decided to call it a day. The view will never be the same again.

Lest your mighty frame forever leave a mark on the landscape

RIP ancient beech tree.

Afternoon nap time, for all of them. Down and out.

Not to worry, Howard is checking on them!

And then the snow was gone! There are two of those ladies starting to look rather uneasy! Are some babes knocking on mums door!

Hello Everyone, I hope you're managing to have a good day despite the weather, It sems surprisingly mild here in Stamfrod in comparison to seeing the snow at Marlfield.

I see winter is back. Dan, are your native breeds not tough enough and used to snow? Of course, if they originated on farms in England or the Isle of Man, they wouldn't be used to such cold weather as in their native habitat.

Good morning - I made it before noon, your time!

Yes I'm sure there is .

There are nooks and crannies around and about that can be used: )

Hello

Morning All

Good morning

The barn doesn't seem big enough

Oh so sorry Dan,,where will they all go?

It is just awful out there

Poor sheep. I’m going to have to think about getting them in I think 😟

Morning all

Looks like it's snowing !
