June

perfect summer weather for sea swimming, mackerel fishing, cliff walking, beach basking, garden visiting, bird watching, sun tanning ... and ... egg laying from our ten pretty new chickens (Gretel, Floozy &  Tallulah pictured above). Deer, kingfishers, owls and buzzards in the garden and small brown trout jumping in the stream...   butterflies everywhere.

 breaking news - 7 new ducklings hatch on the wall

May glorious hot sunny weather.  Dogs and ducklings playing in the stream, kids making dens in the woods, & bows and arrows. Wild flower lanes, nests of grey wagtails and swifts; slow-worms, tadpoles and newts by the kitchen garden; otter prints upstream.

 

 

April 

our first ducklings of the year and lots more to come. The first cuckoo, early bluebells and wild garlic.  Sun, sun, sun...

February Our ancient coppice hosted a ThinkNature coppicing workshop, bringing biodiversity and next winter's logs.
