What's this wet stuff

Blimey.... after SEVEN weeks without rain we've finally had some drizzle!  Ran is forecast, but worry not this afternoon sunshine is due after lunch.

And not forgetting the artichokes

I thought the winter snow would have seen off my artichokes but no, they're back with a vengeance and it looks like we'll be eating them all summer long.

Veg boxes

Ahh the tomatoes are a day from being ready, the cucumbers are ready, the summer squash is bright and bursting and strawberries are piling up.  I love a glut!  But this year there will be no glut as campers get to order veg boxes!

Sunshine

Well another beautiful day here.  We've had the kind of weather that's made campers say "you must be wishing for rain?".  Well no.  The grass is cut and drying in the fields and like everyone else we like a little sunshine with our summer.

Here's a pic taken by one of our lovely campers who holidayed last week. Greg and Louise sent us a set of pics which really captured the spirit of the farm and made me proud.

This weekend another full set of visitors then we have some tents free from 21st June.  Anyway who wants a few days away in the country I'd book those dates - well yes I would say that - however, you don't see a weather forecast like this very often http://news.bbc.co.uk/weather/forecast/2141?area=EX22  so I insist that everyone grabs a little piece of the sun.

Kittens!

Haven't had time to take a pic this morning but Rosie our lovely farm cat had kittens early this morning.  Five beautiful beautiful babies, two tabbies and two black and white dotty ones.  In love!
