Around and about

Monday morning was a nice day for a walk by the Aveyron river. Two dogs and two friends.


We picked up another friend soon after we started walking.


This is the track that starts the walk , at the end it widens to this one!


 from here you can see across to our side of the hill where our farm is


Along the way we found many wild flowers


And these ones  along the river bank, i couldn't find them in the wildflower book.


The path leads through tree trunks and branches covered in moss


There very tactile, Anita likes to move pieces of moss from tree to tree - yes a little bit bonkers!

It was such  a perfect morning.


Along the way you can see the railway line.


 The pathological goes through this vacant farm that only has access from the path you follow -a time when cars weren't around. Look at the left top window, a bit like the crooked house.


Toward the end of the walk you can see the chateau perched on the top of Najac.


Also you cam find muddy puddles to cool down in


The terrier didn't come home with us. My dogs had to have a dip in the river, a nice wet dog smell on the way home.

Weeding

Potatoes A sad looking patch Hunting for carrots The weather has now gone from one extreme to the other from rain, rain and a bit more rain to hot, sunny and hotter. Time to access the veggie patch after I planted everything in one hit and then it got very damp and soggy. Well the potatoes are growing well, although they are going to be a lot later this year, kind of Earlie's for late ones and late ones maybe ready for Christmas dinner ( if they survive the bugs, rabbits and moles). The weeds have and still are growing really well, this morning was spent finding the carrots and parsnips, which I have with no help from Sorrel, who after a quick sniff lazed under the shade of the apple tree (which by the looks of it hasn't got hardly any apples on it?) The poor herb seeds sowed don't look to good or the french and runner beans, think a hungry mouse have nibbled on them so I will have to resow (once I have weeded -again)

A problematic Ewe

While Master C and Miss F were here over the weekend we took the opportunity for their help in moving the two ewes, Gorgon and Thumberlina to the field where the donkeys had been. What with all the rain we have had lately the grass grow super quick. The only problem was Miss Fatty did not want to move from her safe field (if only she knew she was moving to new lush grass). It took farmer J and Master C to try moving her after pushing from me and Master C had failed and she fell to the floor not moving an inch. There try also failed so they were both lead through the field in another direction. Of course once in the new field there was no looking back. Gorgon on the other hand was a breeze to move, as long as you have food he will follow, you just need to make sure you have enough food!
