So himself gauns oot tae the byre this morning and then I hear a shout tae "come here the noo"....
and there, in his arms, is the bonniest wee piebald goatkid, freshly born and shivering wi` the cauld.
For it is fearfu` cauld in the byres, even wi` layers o` straw and the doors tight shut, your breath mists up and if it got ony caulder ye would hear it tinkle as it dropped tae the floor....
Onyway, the wee kid was no` looking awfu weel, so I lifted her oot o` his arms and brought her in by the trusty auld warhorse o` a stove.
Half an hoor in the warm oven perked her up, then another half hoor o` cuddles frae yours truly, and meself and himself had tae wonder how to mak` sure she didnae have tae gaun back intae the icy cauld byre.
We hae a porch o` sorts attached tae the ootside door. It has doors at both ends, and windows, so we`ve blocked one end off and put doon a thick layer o` straw and added some hay bales for guid measure, and we put the new nan in there wi` fresh water, barley and hay. Like a` new mams, she was fair starving hungry and set tae the food fine style.
Her udder was fu` up so we milked a wee bitty off her tae ease the tightness o` it, then set and guided the goatkid tae the teats and after a few misplaced squirts, she soon got the message and began tae drink.
I put a portable gas heater in the other end o` the porch, and will leave it on as long as we can, it tak`s the bite oot o` the cauld and has done the wee kid and her mam a wheen o` guid.
So as of this afternoon, both are doing alright, although we are aware the kid might no` mak` it through the night. Fingers crossed though. I hope she does.
If all goes weel and she does mak it through her first night, I`ll post a picture o` her tomorrow, she is awfu cute!
Bit o` a bitter cauld time o` year tae be coming intae the world though....

the other half managed tae get the caravan back on its twa wheels, though it is a wee bit lopsided still. He also had tae board up the broken window and find a board for the skylight which took off and ended up twa fields awa!
I had a wheelbarrow which is now in tiny bits, what puzzles me though is the large metal wheel is nae whar tae be seen! So the wind has claimed it for a prize, greedy wind...
The pond at the side o` the track keeps flooding...it bleeds intae another pond further doon the track and that leads intae the sea, but the tides are awfu high this time o` year and the whole thing backs up and frequently floods the track...times like this, we could dae wi` oor ain boat!
