Our weather patterns are definitely becoming more…

Wednesday 19th Sept: This is the first chance I have had to write anything, as you can imagine it’s been pretty full on since we got back from our holiday. We had a splendid time, mostly spent relaxing, some acupuncture and massage and lots of eating, drinking and talking. The farm has been in the…

Apples, pears, plums and a whole load of other stuff.
Monday 20th August: I’m thinking that maybe we should have opening times for the egg shed as last night someone arrived at 7.45pm expecting there to still be eggs available! A dull but warm morning so after the orchard animals were sorted and I went round checking for randomly laid duck eggs I decided to…

Runner beans, runner beans and more runner beans 😝
Monday 13th August: Not Up so early this morning, the urgency to water everything has now gone as the drizzle keeps on coming, they say the heatwave will be back but I have my doubts about that. John did the feeding, I went out and got started with the picking, the runners have not been…
