Latest News - updated 8th March FREEZING TEMPERATURES - FROZEN TARIFFS for 2010 FULLY BOOKED FOR EASTER 2010On the Farm: Stunning Sunset "Red sky at night shepherds delight, red sky in the morning shepherds warning". This old weather lore saying is more than just a myth. The reason being is that our wet weather approaches from a Westerly direction. The sky appears red at night because the sun is reflecting the rain droplets in the Eastern sky that have passed over us. The red sky in the morning is reflecting rain droplets yet to fall from the West. Hedge Laying - Paul Owen (pictured) makes light work of coppicing a hedge which had gone too far to lay or plash. New growth will appear this year and then it will be layed in around 4 years time Global Warming? Willis (David's father) is 92 years young and remembers well the winter of 1947 when the snow drifted and blocked the lanes over 12 feet deep. Willis's uncle Tom talked of a severe winter in 1895 when it froze on New Years Eve and frost was in the ground for 13 weeks. An unexpected early arrival born on Christmas Eve snuggles in the straw. Most of the cows are due to calve from February onwards but clearly this ones Mum spent a night with the bull and has her own breeding agenda without any interference. That's nature. Many thanks to all who have visited during last season - we hope you enjoyed your stay. We look forward to seeing you again and welcoming new visitors. |
