Which used to house the R101’s the successor to the zeppelin. In more recent times modern airships were built and parked there. They were moved a few years ago but I was privileged to see one flying overhead – it was enormous

After we sold the lambs and before the goat kids came along there was more attention paid to the sheep. First they were shorn and six weeks later we sprayed them against the threat of blow flies. Now they are happy to be left alone to graze in the field – although grass is in short supply.

That’s two years running. I don’t think we will continue to grow sweetcorn 😢

I hope it will all go smoothly but who knows?

In the paddock chicken run our last remaining pure white Silkie hen is literally on her last legs. We had to carry her into the henhouse last night and this morning I put her in her own small house away from the activity of the other birds.

She has had a good long life of probably 9 or 10 years. Sleep easy and pass easy.
