Distracted

I've been a bit distracted the past day or two by the arrival of a calf called Nellie. 

Amelia, her mum, had been waddling dejectedly around the paddock for ages, almost as wide as she is tall, complaining about her sore back, craving chocolate olives and practicing her breathing exercises.

After the heat of recent weeks, the weather has now turned a bit cooler, wet and stormy which is probably a nice change for Amelia but a bit of a challenge for little Nellie, so we're keeping a close eye on them both.

The joys of rural NZ!
