Working away quietly on my vine house walkway when the heavens open, rain & hail pummel the roof. All dogs want to come inside, even a most reluctant Java seeks shelter.

This is not AI but real farm life, a cat and dog’s companionable relationship

Fascinated by these strange mushrooms growing in this location. They’re actually very beautiful in a lacy sort of way.

A stunningly beautiful Japanese maple autumnal colours glow in our woodland. I planted earlier this year but didn’t realise it had such amazing colour when its leaves dies back for winter

Simple pleasures:
It’s 4:30 on a November Sunday afternoon, outside temperatures are dropping. This calls for a Bailey’s hot chocolate, a comfortable chair, cozying up to the Aga with a good book and a pile of dogs on my lap.

Yesterday was all about flooding and rainbows

Beech tree autumnal colours are so beautiful with Zwartbles sheep black fleeces.
Pupper Inca perfectly poses amongst her flock.

My dogs are very bored!!!
I’m sitting at the kitchen table stuffing lots of calendars into envelopes, addressing them to be posted all over the world.

Feeding lamb/hoggett flock this morning with the rattle and mechanical hum of hedge cutting happening across the river valley

Happy cats and dogs for your Monday morning.
