We are now welcoming the first of our new seasons visitors and it is very good to see them. Everyone is enjoying the longer evenings now that the clocks have gone forward and the sun has come out again. The hedgerows are full of primroses and pale little violets and there is a lot of nesting activity around the farm. At last there is a chance to get on the land and do a bit of harrowing and rolling to encourage the new grass. The cattle loved going into the fresh pasture and kicked up their heels in true Spring fashion. Not long now till the first calves are due.
Had a delightful day out at Trebah garden where the camellias and rhodedendrons are looking their best. Also managed a trip to the Titanic Exhibition at the National Maritime Museum in Falmouth and a real treat at the Princess Pavilion in Falmouth seeing the wonderful jazz singer Clare Teal. Nearer to home we had a very happy evening out at the Treleigh Arms to celebrate the fact that Ronnie has been working here at Rayle Farm for 40 years. Ronnie is an absolute fount of wisdom about Cornwall’s bird life.
Looking forward to having the family home for the Easter break – we have picnics in mind!
