I went for a very long walk today and found
this beautiful green healing spot along one of the footpaths. It was lovely to be able to go out really
early when it was fresh, cool and quiet.
I was glad to get a long walk today because I was only able to have a
short walk yesterday owing to the path being extremely muddy after all the rain
on Friday.
I nearly lost my sandals several times the mud
was so bad.
We have got a new chicken family of six
chicks. As the picture shows Mummy
chicken is very protective of her babies and wouldn’t let me get very close to
them.
I liked the look of these pots near the nursery
this morning. We are going to plant
things like roccolla and lettuce and grow them in the nursery. It will be interesting to see how well/if
they grow.
We have recently done a lot of bed preparation
and planting. After just over a week we
now have some results from our labours like these ladies finger that are
growing very well.
Our first sweet corn crop has struggled and has
grown very slowly. After some rain, at last, the plants have some baby cobs
which is looking very positive.
I love the vivid green of moss on this wall. Its unusual to see it around here as we don’t
have enough constant rain throughout the year for much moss to grow. I don’t know why it grows like that on this
wall as it is not near any water.
I was surprised by this rat that crossed my
path today. It was going quickly despite
the fact that one of its legs looked as though it had been broken.
It went too quickly for me to catch it!
