July - From the Farm

As I write this, Cornwall is enjoying temperatures in the late twenties and after all the rain of last winter I never thought I’d be saying we could do with some.

Farm-wise, we now have five bouncing new calves with another twelve due shortly – they look very attractive in the field with the blond coats of the Charolais and the black of the Belgian Blue and a beautiful deep ruby red and white on the MRI.

It has been wonderful weather for a trip to the Minack Theatre – some friends were there the other evening and throughout the performance a large basking shark was cruising round just out to sea – very spectacular!

Cornish strawberries are at their best with a large dollop of Mr. Rodda’s clotted cream.

Looking forward to having daughter home for the weekend and a trip to St. Mawes on the King Harry Ferry.
