Well, that's another gate hung. It has to be said Icarus isn't impressed. #Crofting #TheJoyOfCrofting

A new galvanised steel gate, on its hinges, properly bolted closed. Beyond it, Icarus, my younger bull, inspects it, grumbling in dissatisfaction. Behind him, tools lean up against the box of The Little Tractor That Can.

Three gates on hinges and stock proof. One wooden gate loaded up to be relocated. This feels like a useful afternoon's work.

As described in the post. In the background, left, dark spruce woodland. There are two steel gates to the left of the tractor, one new, one relocated. The tractor is in the middle, between the gates, with an old but sound wooden gate loaded into the box, leaning against the roll bar. There is strong sunshine.

Well, this is unexpected! Gorgon has produced the first calf of the year. She's healthy, and Gorgon is a good, experienced mother, so I'm not at all anxious about it, but I wasn't expecting calves until May.
