The kids are going to be thrilled, absolutely flying with the smaller presents this year and such an original idea!

This photo has just popped up on my timeline, nothing remarkable about it but we haven't seen any blue sky or sunshine at all in November yet, it's being severely missed!

This always amazes me, the sheer number of spiders living across the farm to cover acres and acres of ploughed soil, an apparently lifeless environment. We see it across grassland too & I've got no real idea what role they play in the environment on the farm, it's fascinating

One of the more frustrating jobs today, roof nets going up in preparation for scaffolding in preparation for solar panel strip and reinstalling next week. The original panels went up in 2011 but the installers cut corners so this time we've got the experts on the job

Interesting year on the farm, 3rd & final year of SFI Pilot has bought a wonderful crop of late flowering clover & some rapidly developing scrub which we've decided to partially manage. Beans have been brilliant & off farm despite the weather our new garden is producing a surprising crop of grapes!

Utter devastation in the straw rows yesterday as a whirlwind made off with a fairly significant amount of straw. The last I could see of some of it was at about 2000 feet crossing the motorway 2 miles away! Apologies to anyone downwind of here with blocked gutters this morning...

A beautiful sight, a field of wheat showing lots of potential for #harvest24! It's a shame half of the wheat never made it to the field though, such a wet winter this year
