We were quite surprised to find fruit on the trees we planted this year in March — tasty, decent-sized plums! We are lucky that the farm is heavy clay, which has held onto the moisture a little better than some other soil types. The majority of the 400 trees we planted are doing OK, but they are very much ready for the rain! (Aren’t we all?)

This is a beautiful Oak gate that Alex made in Feb to mark 5 years since we lost Marlowe, today I saw Alex hauling bales and thought it couldn’t be a more perfect photo to share to show Alex’s craftsmanship and a lovely tribute.

It’s so exciting to see the glow worms again, the adults are only around for a short period, usually 2-3weeks, during June and July. It’s something we really look forward to each year,

They are actually wingless beetles, not worms and the females light up to attract mates and prey.
