This is a personal diary of the little smallholding that I struggle to farm in as environmentally friendly, and traditional way as possible. The problems and joys I am happy to share with others, for, as all smallholders quickly learn, they come in equal quantity!

Spinning Lambs

Turkeys on Parade
My older turkeys - Crollwitzer and Bourbon Red - are beginning to display themselves and "strutt their stuff" for the attention of their girls. The unusually cold weather has meant that all the birds are coming into lay late, although I did get half a dozen eggs from the Crollwitzer girls last week - until this weeks cold snatch stopped them in their tracks!
