Bye bye summer!

Well, is that summer over then?! Children have gone back to school, the weather has turned decidedly autumnal and the leaves are already losing their leaves. We have had a good summer (non-weather wise) and the cottages have been fully booked since the beginning of July and continue to be so until the end of September. We have had a few friends down to stay thoroughout the past few months which was great. We even managed time out to go and support our local country show. My parents came down last week to help tackle some of the garden with me. We had a good day cutting back, clearing up and chopping off anything that got in our way and by the end of the day we were very pleased with our efforts! After our strenuous day in the garden we thought we deserved a day off the following day and so headed off to Bodmin Jail, of all places! We found it to be exetremly interesting, suitable for all age groups and nothing to0 gruesome for the young ones.
We look the first 4 of our 17 lambs to the abattoir last Thursday and they will be ready to pick up this friday. Perfect timing as our freezer has run out of last years lamb!
