February

Its a beautiful morning after such a wet January.  Everything is very green with a dramatic sky.  Yesterday I paid Charmouth a visit.  The beach is full of drift wood, and lots of people collecting it. 

I then went for a walk up to Stonebarrow.  The views from the top are far reaching - to the east there is Golden Cap, to the north the Marshwood Vale then back to the west Lyme Regis and a very choppy sea.  It was so nice to be out and the wind was very refreshing!

Christmas 2013

Here we are, nearly Christmas.  I have posted cards, made friends wreaths, and put up the lights.  Anyone I have missed I wish them a very Happy Christmas now!

So have just finished the wreath for New House Farm.  I am looking forward to my eldest cooking our Christmas lunch this year, doesn't that sound fantastic?  Great chef to hopefully provide great lunch!
Happy New Year everyone.

July 2013

Here we are having a fantastic summer.  The beaches are a wonderful place to be for a feeling of freedom. This is East Beach, at West Bay, Bridport - remembered most recently in the tragic tv series of "Broadchurch".  Imposing and wonderful.  Come and visit our amazing Jurassic Coast.

February Half Term

Saturday morning - and it is half-term down here in Dorset.  We have families coming to stay which is lovely.  What is even better is that the weather man has forecast dry days.... what a relief!!!  Anyway, we have already had 2 beautiful days in a row, so fingers crossed.  It is a beautiful morning, and I attach a photo of our fishing lake giving a misty appeal.

January 2013

January 1st - and at last no rain!  I went for a wonderful walk around Egardon Hill Fort - which is close by.  Walking up and down the ramparts - the views are wonderful whatever the time of year.  Guaranteed to make you feel all is well with the world!
Dorset is so full of exciting walks and  fantastic views.

SUMMER 2012

Its a beautiful sunny Sunday morning.  My guests are just finishing their breakfast, and I wanted to add to my blog a picture - not sure whether I can, but will try, just to welcome you through my front door!

MARCH 2012

A quick update on to what is happening here in the depths of Dorset.  Spring is fast approaching.  The lake now croaks in the morning, and little splashes tell me the frogs/toads are about.  The ducks are getting possessive.  The Canada geese are here in high numbers.  The dafs are all nodding.  The primroses clustering over the banks.  The thrush is belting it out every morning.  My hens are laying so well.  My geese have started to lay now too, so a quiche is in the oven!  The garden is getting tidy,  and I am trying to decide what seeds to bring on, and which veg is going in.  I can't get too forward yet - as the purple sprouting is only about to sprout and I still have far too many leeks to get down me!
Its time for the phone to get busy too - Easter is fast approaching - this is one of my favorite times of the year.
