Sunny daze

These spring days are the perfect weather to get the tents ready for our first visitors at Easter.  The tents are up and a weekend of frenzied mopping and scrubbing, opening up the sides to let the breeze and sunshine dry the wooden floors, has left them looking very inviting.

This year to make sure that children, and parents, can relax as much as possible around the tents we've built a new pig paddock so children can get up close and personal to the pigs without having to traipse up to the farmyard and clamour over hurdles and cattle crushes to get to our 'top field' pig paddock.  The goats Barclay and Bertie are right next door.

Last year the dreaded fox killed all our chickens which live in the camping field, so this year we've created a hen camp for them to be kept nice and safe.  Plus we offer a personal hen hutch for hire right by the tent for anyone who feels they'd like to be a hen keeper for a few days.

So back to the sunshine.  The pic shows the view from tent three, not a bad view I'd say, especially when the sun is out!
