Now that I’ve unpacked, the dogs are starting to settle into their new house and routine. Snipe loves the orchards, which my landlords have said I can walk the dogs in. Midge, on the other hand, is in disgrace as she took herself off for a walk the other day … into the neighbouring farmer’s [...]

Don’t let the sun go down…
I’ve just got back from walking the dogs in the top field, giving them one last opportunity to burn off their energy before we are confined to toilet duty by the tractor til morning. They raced through the stream and let their momentum carry them up the steep slope, until they gradually slowed and then [...]

Moving the chickens
About a fortnight after I probably should have shifted them onto new ground, I finally got round to moving the chooks and their Eglu and Cube yesterday. It’s harder than you might think.

Sunrise, Sunset and Dusk
I love this time of year as you get to see the day beginning and ending without having to get up horrendously early (ok, I get up at 6 as a matter of routine but that’s not early, just convenient). The gorgeous weather we’ve been having is especially convenient as all that beauty can’t hide [...]
