The chicks are in!
We had a wonderful arrival of chicks this past week, warming up in the shed before they're ready to head out into the sunshine. ⛅
We have a couple of different breeds, consisting of Wellsummers, Cuckoo and Copper Marans, Cobb and Light Sussex.🐥🐔

Our oats have been enjoying this sun almost as much as us!
With our fields lines with native trees there is nothing lovelier than listening to the leaves rustle in the breeze whilst picking elderflower. 🍃🌼 What do you think? The next Windows screen saver? 😂

What a perfect day to clamber into hedge rows for this May beauty.
Everyone here can't get enough of elderflower cordial and champagne so we are busy at work making enough to satisfy a whole years worth of refreshment.
Thank you elder trees! 🌳🌼
