Poppies And Other Things

We have had three months of almost non stop rain,and although it has done very little for tourism, and farmers it has helped our earth bunding blend in.
You may remember back in March /April we formed a earth mound around our fields.We were having problems with Gypsies dumping sick  and pregnant horses on our land.

this was the damage they were doing to access the fields

and this was our response  March
and now


April

What a difference
I am so pleased with how this turned out,I sprinkled a few boxes of wildflower seeds, and the result is wonderful.












We also planted 1000 willow stems which are all doing well.
My Son also fell  victim to the poor weather,he had his Stag do on a very wet weekend,but luckily  he was able to get some use from the giant inflatable bungee .



And Wilson tried his very best to join in.
I have done a few creative things,

My Father was 85 yesterday and  we met up with my  brothers and  their wives by the River Avon for a meal.




This is a small village just outside the Roman city of Bath where I grew up.

On our way home we called into a dealer to view what we call motor homes ,but I believe in the USA they are called RVs,this one was larger than my parents cottage.

I have received some goodies in the post
A twinchie from the talented  Sonja who also hosted the swap.

and another from Beth containing the most delightful birds.
