Getting ready for the berry season! We are super chuffed to have done our first ever concreting! We extended the berry rows to include honey berries and blueberries so needed to add extra posts for bird netting. They’re all straight! 💥 ps the drums around the blueberries and honey berries are there to protect them from the rabbits! Ugly but necessary.

Eddy (on the right) is shedding his wool - which is what Wiltshire sheep do. Bits of wool in the paddocks, on fences and caught on the fire pile branches.

Freshly picked and packed. We love spending a couple of hours in the sun picking our fruit. Limes, lemons and tangelos.
