has been looked after by Phil who has cared for her brilliantly. He sent us these photos earlier today which we have just seen
We just went outside with a flashlight and Lucy and Lily are out near the barn and asking for more hay. A good sign
And from The Telegraph today
Following on from an article in the Sunday Times yesterday – nothing to do with The Gables just with the Prof daughter. Btw Lucy looks a bit better and we are keeping her in the barn for a few days until we get her blood test results and to monitor her eating and drinking
The mystery of the missing….
Poor Mr Postie – he came to collect the letters from the postbox on the corner of Mill Road – just outside The Gables – only to find that the post box had gone AWOL. Stolen in the night. Crazy. What resale value does it have? Look out for a square, red metal postbox on eBay – and let me know.
Vet says “no temperature and no twisted stomach”
She’s had a blood test and will have a magnesium shot
Mea Culpa – Lily was trying to tell us about Lucy
She just wants to sit and her eyes look red to me, as if she has a fever. The vet is on her way and we managed to get Lucy and Lily into the barn with the inducement of a bucket of concentrates.
We should listen closely to what our animals are saying. Sorry Lily I should have taken more notice.
What’s the matter Lily?
She has been bellowing all night.
I apologise to the neighbours – she certainly disturbed my sleep and I went out with a flashlight to see why she was calling. I don’t have a clue. Sound carries in the quiet countryside. Click below
As we have our evening whisky there are beans to pod
and put on trays in the airing cupboard until they are quite dry. Later they will be stored in jars and used through the winter.
Harvest time ……and Nigel!
Everywhere I turn there are vegetables being brought in from the garden. Some to dry off and hang, some to store in nets, potatoes to dry and put into sacks and pumpkins to wrap in paper and keep in a cardboard box.
It’s quite difficult to string the onions when Nigel is about

Supper tonight
An armful of rainbow chard and a wrist full of tromboncino. Take into the kitchen, wash and prepare.
Another mini project in the courtyard
