Lois in the morning sun
It is lovely and sunny again today and Lois was enjoying munching in the morning sun. The wheat in the big field next to her is a beautiful shade of mossy green and a perfect place for Peter Rabbit and Philip the Pheasant, not to mention the Fox Family and the Roe Deer, to play in.
We are lucky to have deep hedgerows around most sides of the fields on our farm.

The Rew
Our field opposite the yard has a rew on all four sides. I suppose they were originally man-made, planted with a wide range of native trees and shrubs, and many would have been cut down to make way for additional grazing or crops, but we are lucky enough to have ours intact! They are full of wildlife, lots of woodland birds and insects - and we love going over the lane and scratching around in the old leaves for grubs. Lois, and her family before her, take shelter in here from the rain or sun and it is a perfect place for them to have hay in the winter. There are big oak trees full of tiny birds searching the leaves and bark for insects right down to the wild rose with petals that fall like nature's confetti - each a perfect heart-shape in white and pale pink.
