Red sky at night...

...gone surfing!?

Moody skies whilst turning round The Granary hottub/spa this morning 🌄

We have made a real effort this summer for the bees and we hope to be selling honey from our organic farm this autumn 👊👌👍🐝🍯

Capability Brown's Rothley Lower Lake looking wonderful this morning

Our shepherd Joe Barrass found this little fella on the silage pit yesterday 👊👍☘🦎

Pit 1 filled for another year, well done team 👊👍☘

High health status, yearling, organic, black baldy bulling heifers heading north to their new home today 🐮👊👍

Hereford out of one of our White Galloway heifers this morning, what a wonderful surprise 👊👍🐮

Our first White Galloway calf, calved outside, on a chilly frosty but dry night, up and sucked, if you call for eggs, they are on the right hand side on the way up the drive 👊👍🐮

Grandpa has now caught 43 grey squirrels, not for everyone but without these efforts the red squirrel will be no more, Northumberland is now their last strong hold in England, great to see them come back into areas once the greys have been removed 🐿

what marvellous technology, great way to keep an eye on cows without disturbing them, but if they require assistance you can be there in a flash

A little changeable weather today and the new born calves must be questioning the world in which they have arrived, an ill wind that goes through you not around, joined by periods of glorious sunshine...and snow, oh and icicles?! 🌬🌞❄🥶

Over half a million bees now on the farm, really, really excited 🐝🐝🐝🍯🍯🍯🌻🌸🌺☘☘☘

...dead, alive, sleeping or calving?! Sometimes the calving cameras provide as many questions as answers?

Bit of grass, ewes heavy in lamb, leads to some getting stuck on their backs, so checking ewes twice a day at present, pleasant in the sunshine and fun on the 2 wheeler

My daughter and I have just heard the first curlews of the year, how wonderful, could spring really be here?!

How exciting, after years of looking, bee hives are finally coming to our farms, quarter of a million, but upwards of 1 million in the summer to add to all the wild ones we already have 👊👍🐝

...an inquisitive bunch these white Galloways?!

Start of a new enterprise for us, producing our own Suffolk tups to use with our commercial ewes. Pedigree ewes bought last year from the Hans flock, my friend and neighbour Hans Pörksen at Gallows Hill farm. Pedigree tup from Sandyknowe.

One free range egg, a goldmine of nutrients 🇬🇧🥚

What a stunning morning in Northumberland, makes the job a little more difficult on the farm but it is worth it on days like this.
