The middle of January and this morning we have our first proper frost of the winter. The temperature is -2 and it feels chilly – but of course, compared to last winter this is positively balmy. We need a week or so of really cold weather to kill off the bugs and pests that will otherwise proliferate in the vegetable patch. Our solar panels are up and running and even on the short, dark, grey days of winter we still produce some electricity. They should significantly reduce our carbon footprint and we may be sending some electricity back to the grid on the longer, lighter days of summer. I’ll monitor it and let you know. We are planning some projects around the farm for the spring and summer - a new goat shed out in one of the fields with a small attached paddock and some new pig arcs and free range pens. We will be getting some more goats in a few weeks – two kids and an adult in milk and with our expanded herd we aim to ensure a continuous supply of milk. The days are getting noticeably longer and the green shoots of the bulbs are beginning to show. Spring is not too far away and the beautiful cycle of the seasons here starts again. If you would like to know more about the holiday cottages or the farm then do contact us at mark@llwyncrwnfarm.co.uk or on 01559 389099. Why not plan a break for 2012. We offer flexible start dates and short breaks throughout the year. Best wishes, Mark |
