Good luck Tufty

We were down by the pond clearing brambles when I noticed a lot of activity in the bee hives. They only come out when it’s warm and it is warm today. Jeremy says they are in cleaning flights (which is more or less what we doing at the pond). On the walk back along the garden we found more globe artichokes (we picked and cooked some last week) and then, to my amazement we found fresh, red rhubarb growing.

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 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

We decided to give her a sample of our latest product
