One of the many delights of living on a farm; you never know what you will see next…
In amongst the works in progress on the hard.
Is that really a big black bull…?
Why, yes it is…
A big black bull called Callum, as it happens, that the farm owner has been angling to get her hands on for ages.
He is being trained and taught some manners…
A rare breed indeed…
And I don’t mean John.
I just love the young of the Highland Cattle – like little teddy bears…
So damn cute.
We have lambs too…
Take a closer look…
Been doing a little gardening today, working on the pots of colour in the cratch…
And on the bow…
I ran out of compost so the ones for the deck will have to wait for another day.
Am delighted the radishes are shooting…
We had to cover with the mesh as something was nibbling at them.
Great to think I shall soon be able to indulge my latest food fetish without swelling Mr. Tesco’s purse… Has to be a good thing.
My Aloe gave birth too…
Aaahhh. Even if it does look like the logo of a well known sports brand.
I did get some shots of Ugley Woods the other day…
Which, if I’m honest, I forgot I had. Though, as I said, the little bells not fully ringing just yet.
Though how such a pretty place can be called Ugley still beats me – has to be the best bluebell wood I’ve ever seen.
My tropical flower was feeling the cold…
And headed briskly for the warmth of the car. It was chilly.
Sadly, the managing of the woods does not seem as on the ball this year – nettles and brambles getting in the picture.
This trotted by at one point on our country drive…
And we passed this…
Which amused us. Agricultural inventiveness at its best.
The pretty pink avenue of sweet chestnuts still not quite there – though only days away – so here’s a boring old white one to be going on with…
Majestic and magnificent. And out everywhere somewhere near you – unlike the pink jobs that keep us dangling.
Soon.
And as for the rape fields…
They even make the pylons look good…
Loving those moody skies.
And Hertfordshire country lanes, complete with the John person posing – for scale and perspective of course…
Are superb. Proper.
How gorgeous is this mix…
What a wonderful time of year – even if I’m not cruising. Yet.
There’s an exciting boat related project going on right now though, which will be coming to this blog very soon.
I am busy amassing photos by way of before, during – and  eventually after. But some of the early ones are on John’s camera and, in the interests of doing things in the correct order, I must wait till they are transferred to my computer – soon I hope.
Can’t wait to share…
