again – what else can you say other than see the beauty in the Sunset in December?

what can you say that these pictures do not capture?

well you might think this is a funny picture of a guard dog guarding but actually it is meant to show the piles of planings in readiness for improving tracks for our visitors next year. It has been over four years now since we came and they need a bit of tidying!

well we all have dogs to walk and the weather is really mild at the moment – amazing what you can see if you look at the ground…

Well I have not had much chance to do anything yet in terms of Christmas shopping but have had a few “foodie” trips.

Always in demand on farm, I am always amazed at the transformations that take place in the shops I frequent between visits… often I cannot find what I want as they have moved aisles.

However, I was rather surprised to find Kangaroo in Lidl and Ostrich in Tesco…

bit more than the everyday Turkey choice!

where is December going? it is flying past and Christmas will be upon us shortly… meantime enjoy the mini heatwave…

sunrise at Kensmyth… in the East

and sunset… in the West

Well it was a jolly cold barn before the Patio Heaters arrived but everything sold really well and our new machined Alpaca Yarn Jumpers sold well, especially the green!

well our Alpaca products are sold far and wide and we were invited to attend a Christmas Fair at Cogges Hall – Cogges Manor Farm near Witney recently.

Amazing buildings and home to Yew Tree Farm from Downton Abbey, no Christmas Day Special Episode this year from that fantastic series…
