We were lucky to be able to borrow a tent for our party last Sunday as we had a few heavy showers, it was really good to catch up with friends mid summer when everyone is so busy - Just loaded 48 bullocks destined eventually for Waitrose. More coming in next week. The sheep have stopped wandering and are content for the moment having had a little bit of rain to keep the grass growing.
After many years of talking about it my husband and son have at last built a lovely patio area with a wooden trellis above – now all there is to do is lay the paving stones and plant it with a few climbing roses and vines. Let’s hope that we have some sun to use it now!
Dare I say it the farm desperately needs this welcome rain and then we want some more sun! The hens are laying well now which is good because everyone seems to be asking for scrambled eggs for breakfast.
Having had a visit by the fox, we have bought 15 point of lay hens which are just beginning to lay. 6 white leghorn, 6 rhode island red and 3 that will lay pale blue eggs much to the delight of our grandson Rowan. The electric fencing hopefully will deter Charlie fox – it is wonderful to have our own fresh free range eggs again.
My new blog page is now up and running which is exciting – Wambrook is looking fantastic at present with so much blossom and we have been so lucky with lots of sunshine and blue skies.
