Back in blighty and what a beautiful spring to welcome us back! The sun is shining and the first buds are appearing on the trees . Done my order with real seeds for our first veggies to get into the seed trays,loving the real seeds company for their ethics, a small company in wales selling old reliable strains and heritage seeds,fingers crossed that their seeds are as good as they boast,put in peppers,gardeners delight toms,aubergine and cucumber so far as want them to get a good start and the weather is nice and warm.
Had a nice suprise yesterday morning as we lay in bed looking out at the stunning woodland view,two roe deer crossing right outside our caravan! love it! really cute, as they sauntered off we cracked on with a hard days work getting the polytunnel tidied up ,and finishing the chicken coups and fencing.
Still a bit exhausted from the 36 hour journey home but just cant stop working on the land once we get started,the surf is looking good at the moment and bloody cold as march is about as cold as it gets as far as water temp goes in the atlantic,but with these nice sunny days i think im gonna brave it tomorrow...
Phoned around the county looking for some point of lay chickens,suprisingly difficult to get hold of,went to a place in redruth in the end, got three hybrids to start with ,very cute,they were very quiet on the journey home in their cardboard box,when we released them i was suprised how mellow they were! i had visions of them going crazy and not coming near us but they were immediately friendly and managed to pick them up without difficulty,lets hope that we fenced well enough to keep mr fox away.....
