well Christmas has been and now we have started getting the yurt site ready for our 2012 season.our 4th year .The tree surgeon arrived last wednesday to tidy and make safe some of the trees round the edge of the site.The photo shows the large Ash tree being trimmed.We have 15 new Guernsey cows on the farm .They will be calving shortly.My next task is to take their photos for the blog. 
we have had such a brilliant 2011 season .It has just flown by.We enjoyed meeting and getting to know everyone who came to stay.Thank you all so much it was a pleasure having you to stay with us.
Now we have started to pack away the yurts and David is busily dung spreading the dung from the back shed. It will soon be ready for the Winter ,to house the young stock.
The hens have just come back laying eggs after a short rest.They also worked very hard this Summer. Thank you chickens.
Weather is warmish and sunnt today .Hope it stays for a bit.
sorry we’ve been away so long we ‘ve been so busy putting up the yurts and kitting them out.We have our 2 new yurts and i think they improve the look of the site .It now looks finished and like a tiny community all of it’s own. Well, we have now been open for a month and have already met some lovely people.The weather has been very kind to our guests but the farm is suffering through the lack of rain.The grass is’nt growing fast enough and the ground is so dry. I expect when the rain does come it won’t want to stop.
We have a couple of new things this year a wood fired Rayburn that will heat the water for washing up etc, and bicycles for hire for those who want to discover the countryside more closely.I suppose i had better go now as we have to go to the polling station and vote.We’ll see what that result brings for the County of Somerset.
Well this morning is sunny and bright with a chilly wind blowing.Our farmers markets have been going really well so far this year.We had a visit from our feed rep yesterday with the news that the pig feed is going up in price yet again.This makes things very difficult ,will we or won’t we have put the price of the pork up umm,will have to think very carefully!.8th March is D Day for the 2 new yurts we can collect them anytime after this.The 2 new shower rooms are complete and will be ready to go after a good wash and shine.Spring must be in its way during my walk with the dogs through the wood yesterday i could see the Bluebells just begining to push their way through.Looking forward to seeing them in full bloom.
well christmas is over and the snow has all gone .Off to our first farmers market for this year at the weekend.Then on Monday we;re going to Ikea and Go outdoors Bristol to buy the equipment needed for our 2 new yurts arriving for this season.Still having trouble uploading my photos but still trying. Just about to try again maybe successful this time fingers crossed.
Well its nearly Christmas. Decoratings all finished and the Christmas tree is up.We have had 3 inches of snow overnight.Our farmers market has been cancelled,so I thought i could update the blog. I am now going to try to put some snow photos on so that you can see Oxenford in the snow.Happy Christmas everyone.
It’s November and the weather still feels like late Summer here.With the good weather the cows are still grazing in the fields.
We will soon be starting to collect all thats needed to furnish our 2 extra yurts ready for next Summer,but at the moment i really must get on with painting my living room ready for Xmas
