Thought I should ressurrect my blog after hibernating all winter!
We have finished our first batch of lambing. We lambed 350 ewes in February and lambs and mums are all now out in the fields, the lambs enjoying lamb races and growing fast. We were pleased to welcome several guests in February who came for an insight into lambing. We are now seeing signs of Spring with the trees just budding and the first of the daffodils in bloom, and I have given the lawn its first cut of the season.
Andy has been busy ploughing the ground preparing it to plant Spring Barley in between keeping the pigeons and rabbits off the oilseed rape which was planted in the autumn.
I recently had my annual inspection from the Quality in Tourism team for my bed and breakfast accommodation. This year was a mystery guest staying overnight, all went well I am pleased to say and I have again been awarded my 4 Stars plus a Silver Award and this year an additional breakast award for which I am very proud of.
The bluebells are beginning to push through so not long before we see the woodlands covered in carpets of wood anenomes and bluebells. The wild ducks have returned to the pond and paired up and the frog spawn is hatching so Spring is definitely on its way a great time of year to get out and see the countryside.
