At long last, it is cold here! The fire is going 24/7 and the farmhouse is cosy warm. Outside, the trees have suddenly turned colourful and are scattering their leaves. On Friday it was snowing (!!) on the way to work, and we’ve had a little rain at the farm; though heaven knows we need…

Waiting
It is hard for a six-year-old to wait for his grandparents to arrive. Swinging on the gate certainly helps to while away the time.
An Early Morning
It’s fair to say that I am not a morning person. In fact getting out of bed is my least favourite part of the day. After that everything gets better. Country Boy, on the other hand, loves to get up early (particularly once it gets a little warmer) and get out into the garden or…

A Walk Around The Grounds
At last the days are getting a little longer. When I get home from work there is no longer the rush to get animals fed and firewood stacked before it gets dark. If I’m lucky I occasionally get half an hour to grab the camera and take a little wander around the garden or down…
