The start of the summer

So Shugborough Esate, my parents favourite haunt while I'm at work on a Saturday and the place which handily provided the inspiration for my last fashion project, recently opened for the season and I was excited to get to see the new guinea pigs today!

Now these two look like they come from the same family as last years and if I am not very much mistaken I can see a baby bulge which means more little cuties are on the way. There was another pair, one with the same three colours and one agute, but though I caught a fleeting glimpse of them upon arrival at the farm they were very shy so I didn't manage to photograph them.

There were also some cute bunnies around:

This one seemed to be alternating boxing with the air with grooming its paws:

This little lamb is called Sean and was a very friendly chap.

These chickens seemed to be burrowing... which seemed a little odd to me but if someone knows what they were doing I'd love to know.

And the daffodils are coming out:

There are some really pretty spots in the garden.
