The turkeys are growing and exploring their home; they love to roost on bales and their cute chirps have turned in to gobble gobbles ... funny things! They're all getting big and plump now - reminding us that Christmas is on it's way.
The ducks and geese happy neighbours and are loving the rain (unlike the rest of us!) Their honks and quacks ring out throughout the paddocks - what lucky neighbour we have! They're all in full feather and looking very impressive - we can't understand how they can stay so white when they love puddles so much!
The wonderful summer we all enjoyed has left us with heaps and heaps of wonderful hedgerow fruits...so what does that mean? That's right - JAM TIME! We picked a plethora of blackberries, rosehips, sloes and haws so now we're stocked up on jams, rosehip syrup and sloe gin to see us through to next summer!
We've been very busy recently converting an old dairy into a brand spanking new butchery and kitchen. It's a huge step up for us so we're hopeful that this Christmas will be a success to make sure it was all worth it! We're hoping to be finished in the next two weeks so as soon as we are we'll treat you to a little tour of our lovely new HQ!
Wishing you all a jolly October!
