A quiet livestock farm situated where the three counties of Shropshire, Herefordshire and Powys meet. We offer quality self-catering accommodation with disabled facilities, an indoor swimming pool, games room, BBQ Cabins and children’s play area
You never know what you might see when you are out for a walk on the farm.
This morning the guests following the Corvid Trail came across two young deer – a surprise for all parties!
The other day out on Harley’s Mountain – a long way from a water source I thought – this little fellow hopped across my path.
He even waited whilst I photographed him and gave me a cheeky wink!!!
The rain hasn’t stopped but there has been sunshine between the showers.
We have three very thirsty lambs to bottle feed four times a day.
It doesn’t matter what age you are there is something special about feeding young animals and watching them grow!
Will the rain ever stop?
Easter is just around the corner and yet it still seems like winter with all the rain. The fields are water logged and the streams are full but with a few dry days it would be a different picture – just a bit of breeze on a dry day can make all the difference.
It will soon be lambing time and time to bottle feed the cade lambs. Then surely the weather will have picked up and spring will be here!
Don’t you just love it when the first signs of spring appear!
Our snowdrop carpet expands year on year – there are patches of snow drops all over the farm. Seeds dropped by birds which eventually make the tiny bulbs that will then spread to create mini carpets of white in unexpected places.
Nature left to its own devices paints a marvellous canvas!
To be honest Phoebe arrived with us in July. We were re-homing her but after a couple of days inside the house (where she spent a lot of time in the office trying to get me to play with her instead of working) she made a bid for freedom and………
As Phoebe continued to return to the big barn for her food we were not concerned by the fact that she preferred to live outside. As time went on we saw Phoebe more frequently around the farm buildings but…. she often didn’t appear to see us!
It became more obvious that Phoebe was actually deaf or very very hard of hearing. She would often come round a building where we were working and be surprised to see us and run off immediately. Sometimes we would see her sitting on the straw bales and, until she saw us, we could shout and holler but she would not move.
Last month we made a break through and Phoebe came to me whilst I filled her food dish. Now we have daily cuddles (and nose rubs) and she is becoming more trusting, even when other people are around in her Barn.
Although she has not come back in the house she is very happy in the barns and just loves to get extra treats if we see her – especially her favourite tuna flavour Dreamies!!
So, maybe when you come and stay you might spot our little tigress as she prowls the gardens on her daily walkabout!
