I hate to say that I think we are in for a wet winter this year.. when we get this so early on. You guessed it folks – the Mole Valley Car Park flooded – wellies needed to get across the car park !!

There is, as I have often said, nothing more beautiful than the Cotswolds in the right light ..

Well sometimes you have just too much good grass and you need a helping hand to keep it down.. well maybe a few more mouths to be honest..

for those of you not knowing what sheep they are, they are Coloured Ryelands..

even if they do disappear into the grass somewhat – watch out for flystrike!

The promise of chilly frosts and cooler nights as September lands in 2024.. so glad we have our hay in!

Feeding alpaca all year round at Kensmyth avoids the transition from grass to hay issues when needed because they are already used to it! Grazing sporadically across the plains from their origins, alpaca would not have had continual lush grass so thinking about their normal eating habits always helps.
