The cows prefer fresh grass to dry hay – who wouldn’t? The intermittent rain has helped the grass to sprout and the cows are happy again.

Dawn
A late knock on the door
A friend arrived to collect some jars of homemade jam which will be one of the raffle prizes at the village jigsaw puzzle fundraiser this coming weekend.
She also got six eggs for herself as the hens are laying well at the moment.
No sooner has her chick become an adolescent and Mrs Silkie has gone broody again.
This time she is sitting UNDER the Silkie house. Start counting 21 days from tomorrow.

While the sun shines I will take the opportunity to harvest the Borlotti beans, pod them and dry in the during cupboard.
They are such pretty beans.
Wishing Friends and Family, near and far.
A healthy and happy and peaceful New Year. I pray that, like us, our leaders will take time for introspection and reflection and change their ways. If not, then this year we will have to stand up and make our voices heard to protect this beautiful, endangered planet on which we have been allowed to live.

Season of mists ……and sun and rain. Autumn walking.
New day, new phone, new camera
Forgive my obsession today. I have upgraded my phone at the end of a two year contract. It’s not the shiny new iPhone 11 but a humble 8 but I was promised that the camera far surpassed that of my old iPhone 5. It sure does and I used it as I walked around opening up and feeding the animals just now. Autumn has officially arrived. The leaves are falling, I am wearing gloves and the mice will have to learn to evade the cats or risk an early demise.
