They play whilst I make jam – who has more fun?







The apricots are turning.


In the evening, when Willow, Wisp and the six kids are tucked up in the goat shed,
Juno is brought out into the cool air and has a few hours in the paddock.

We watched him as he stood on his hind legs and plucked plums from the low hanging boughs. Clever fellow

This morning the kids were as playful as ever. They captivated the hearts of our guests yesterday


How many cousins? We’re still counting








It was three generations and 47 head count


How do we prepare for 3 generations of cousins (about 50 on Jeremy’s paternal side) ?


Nearly a full moon tonight and outside in the pergola there is the perfume of night-scented stock


Looking forward to …
Stewed sour cherries – picked and pitted



My cosmos flowers give me so much joy – even though I have to dead head them every day. They’re worth it!



As I sit in the pergola
A red kite flies close by perhaps looking for prey or water


I shouldn’t have a favourite but I do!
