Help! Help!Help! There’s a Poddy on the loose in the vegetable garden!

I was taking a bale of straw from the sheep barn to the chicken barn and the sheep were watching me. Most have enough respect to give me a wide berth but dear little Poddy (tame and fearless) followed me out of the gate and ran into the vegetable garden

She loved the chard – delicious
Nibbled on the gooseberry bushes (thorns and all)

She gave me a complete run around the garden and I resorted to bribery with a bowl of sheep nuts, slowly leading her back through the gate. She’s a match for Naughty Nigel! Sometimes I wonder who is in charge at The Gables

Bottoms up!

A friend called in, unexpectedly, this afternoon just as I returned home from the library in St Neots.

We decided to give her a sample of our latest product

Gables cider. Good health, bottoms up, L’chaim !

A strange morning of mixed activities – and a problem with a cat!

An hour spent down at the goose pond

With my trusty hedge trimmer – hacking away at brambles and overgrown vegetation and trying to clear the water of debris. Little by little each day – and I really don’t want to fall into the brackish water! Then……

My phone alarm sounded and I rushed back to the house to watch daughter being interviewed on Australian Broadcasting News. She was being asked about the Colorado shootings, about human rights in relation to the LGBT community and about former president Trump and lastly commenting on the World Cup being awarded to Qatar CLICK on YouTube link below Towards the end of the interview a cat called NIGEL jumped onto the kitchen counter, opened the biscuit box and HELPED HIMSELF to a DANISH PASTRY. I had to put down my phone and eject him from the room. OH NIGEL!!! See below for full interview
