Home from a midday drive to London to enjoy a birthday lunch for my sister in law.
The sun will soon go down so it’s time to shut the poultry into their houses.
Grandson skipped lunch in favour of a snooze on the sofa
A view from a trailer – hold on tight!

Signs of spring…….. in January!
Hens laying like crazy.
Shallots sprouting.
Daffodils budding.

Yesterday Jeremy bought the wood and today Chris put up the structure to mark out the paths around the goose pond. We are hoping that the daffs we planted will come up along these borders.
Trying again with the “mutual?” grooming
Regimented rows of broad beans – planted in autumn they should be ready to harvest in May

New Year and the Wednesday walking group sets off and returns in sunshine
Breakfast bliss
