2012

All our visitors have gone for the time being and we are trying to get back into a 'normal' regime again!
The weather is beautiful here currently, and it really does inspire you to get out on on the land. We've been making the most of our precious days off, back in the woods, doing some clearing. It really is so rewarding when you face the day with an overgrown mess and end up with a lovely clear piece of ground.

It really feels like Spring is here, Glorias goats are in kid again and there is a hive of activity around the valley with everyone tying in their vines and getting prepared for the growing season.The first crocusses are popping up now aswell.
The two remaining pigs are very happy- it's given the smaller one of the original three a chance to catch up a bit growth-wise now the big fat greedy male has gone in the freezer!
The Geese are starting to get frisky and are acting very strangely!
