The Great Battle of Autumn has commenced! Although the trees are on the whole still well clothed and green - probably due to the very wet spring, the days are fast drawing in and the evenings getting chillier. The crops are harvested and the fields are ploughed. We enjoyed a few lovely weeks during the Summer Holidays with great activity on the farm. The young pullets and cockerels enthusiastically hurled themselves around in Olympic style - and as our wise friend, Mandy, rightly said - plenty of perch bars beamwork! Mum and Dad have been busy on our little farm and now we are looking forward to seeing this year's youngsters learn new skills at school, whilst the oldest are preparing for a few Shows!
 We plough the fields and scatter |  Even more rain quickly filled the little pond |  A chilly October morning |  Time to snuggle up in front of the fire |
