Summer is great this year. Hot, blue skies, warm still evenings with pink & purple sunsets at half past ten.
Our lovely first guests Pam and Caroline were very lucky with the weather; only one morning rain, in general too hot for walking! They thoroughly enjoyed their holiday and they were an absolute pleasure to have. We even went out together to a fest noz in Locmaria. Very nice to hang out with the locals and join in a game of egg throwing/catching...
In the mean time some new animals arrived: 19 lovely white sussex girls that have joined the laying team. And two rabbits: Coco and Tatti. We'ved let them out of their cages, it was too sad. Now they are hopping around in the backyard with young rooster Johnny and some old hens. Cats and dogs know they are pets and the bunnies are now just relaxing on the lawn, coming and going as they please.
Soon we'll get some piggies too. Not sure we'll go for a couple of mini pigs (the only grow till they are 15 kg!) or a small black pregnant pig. Also thinking about some small sheep...
What more? Kids are on holiday. We've discovered the lake by Drennec that is a great place for them to go for a swim. Marley can go there too. After NZ it's nice to be able to take your dog to places.
I'm trimming hooves, helping people with their horses, riding almost every evening. The only horrible thing here in summer are the flies. The horses are in their stable all day!
Rod's picking fruit, making jams, extending the berry gardens, ordering chicken food and roasting coffee. His french is improving but I don't think he's noticing it....
first time i've checked in a while. Frosty every morning here for a while and i'm envious of the warmth there. It does all look and sound lovely. I laugh at what you say about the kids at school and having no clue about what is happening. Sounds like they have a good time.
