Season of Sunrises and Sunsets

Hello Everyone,

Not long now till he arrives…HoHoHo!

We have had quite a busy week ensuring that all is ready for the Winter weeks and any severe weather. This last week and now, as I am actually writing this week’s Journal, has seen some extremely windy days and nights. The covers over some outside beds have been blown around. They have needed to be securely returned to the beds with extra rocks and pallets. The covering can become a danger by maybe blowing onto the lane. They become an extremely heavy kite so it is all hands to the pump to prevent the fabric covering flying off.

Much of this week’s time has been spent washing the covering of the polytunnels. We need to take full advantage of the little daylight we receive during the Winter days to aid in the slow growth of the vegetables growing inside the tunnels. Keeping the covering clean ensures that light is not deflected.  The tunnels are looking white and clean. More DIY will be completed in the New Year.

The mornings have brought amazing sunrises and I am hoping you saw the beautiful colours during Thursday mornings sunrise. If not enjoy the view I had on the farm.

The  Christmas Chefs Box is now available on the website. It will be a bumper box of festive treats for your Christmas dinner and more. Bob will be delivering on the Monday 22nd and Tuesday 23rd of December which will be perfect timing for the big day. So, get your orders in quickly as once we reach capacity the shop will have to be closed.

We have many ticks on our huge list of ‘things to do’ with still much more to do. So, we will be back to work to see how many more ticks we can see before next week.

Till then, HoHoHo!
