Kensmyth

Well we have been around the countryside a little bit recently with the boys running the farm in our absence – thank you. An open invitation from many of our West Country friends is always an honour but we did actually haul ourselves the 5 hour journey (yes M4 traffic) down to Beaminster recently and during the course of our week end away -went to the Martin Clunes Buckham Fair.

Great day had by all with much to see and do for all – I have never seen so many dogs in one place – ever!

excellent stalls and food choices…

classic cars for the enthusiasts…

A big thank you to all the owners of the dogs who posed for me and especially to Frankie, Eddie, Cleo, Molly, Holly and Eddie – just a few of those I photographed!

Give you a clue I did NOT see an Afghan Hound or a Samoyed – how many of the Dog breeds can you get right?

I saw these recently and they made me laugh so much I had to share them with my readers…

shocking pink Bentley – wow, even a B on the Wheels…

and No I was in the Passenger seat not driving but take a look at these real beauties…

to be found in my Mother in Laws garden – marvellous!

Normally a bit later in the year I do a Nature Walk around the farm and locality to see how Mother Nature is preparing to feed her world this winter… already underway!

just remember you Sloe Gin lovers – do not pick until after the first frost!!!

We have been doing a Time lapse on some of these fascinating Mushrooms in an empty paddock – wow how they grow in just one day…

strawberry mushroom pavlova anyone?

A different perspective at Kensmyth…

sometimes in this life, you just have to take a step back and accept that rules that apply to you, just for some reason do not happen to apply to someone else!

can you see what I can see – they said in unison…

look who I found in Malmesbury when I popped into the Vets for ADE?

and it is goodbye to July from the Alpaca…

can you believe it is August already? I actually saw a Christmas item in the shops and had to look quickly away – incredible!

what better way to welcome August than with a photo of my rapidly growing niece and her mum

not sure how I managed to get all of that in but I did!
