Can’t believe the last one was January! well 8 months have passed and the weather is still dark,wet and miserable and it’s August!
As usual the weather is as predictable as me burning tea every night- as soon as you hear the first combine you know that rain is in the air.As much as we need rain to help the grass grow we really could do with a little less of the stuff landing on the straw which is waiting to be baled.
While we wait for the sun to return to dry the straw ,we have Chagford Show to enjoy. We went down this evening to set up the stand,and hopefully will have a fun day there tomorrow. Okehampton Show was great success for us last week , but a very long week preparing for it!
We also had great results from the ‘Taste of the West Food and Drink Awards’this year . We entered 7 products and won 2 Golds, 3 Silver and 2 Bronze awards for our beef,pork and lamb.
We have started to sell the lambs born this spring, Blackspice one of our Dexter cows calved this morning and Iggy our pet piggy has 10 piglets.
The B&B has been really busy with guests from all over and a lovely couple have just arrived to stay for two weeks, so hopefully the sun will come out for them ,if not for us!!!
