Yesterday we had a lovely lady from Switerzland, who has taken a sabatical from her job as a lecturer, to travel European with her faithful companion Chilli a scottie dog who was a great character.  Chilli sort of enjoyed the farm tour but was a bit scared of the large pigs.  We wish them well on their epic journey.
I promised  Vicci would post the simple recipe for our cream porridge as our recent russian visitors loved it so much.
The secret is too cook long and slow over a low heat, I never measure out milk and oats just have the milk at the ready if it thickens up too much and add as necessary.  A sinful good glug of double cream at the end of cooking as requested by quite a few of our guests now make it very special. Very naughty but nice and the oats are so good for you !!!

Still got one ewe to lamb but she is taking her time. It was looking very encouraging this morning but nothing has happened

Puppies are now very mobile, and exploring. 

Toby has had one chick with furry feet hatch but no other which is bizzare. Hope more will come over next few days.

Garage just came to take my spitfire away for repair after its crash. Probably will not see it now until after the summer!

Meant to be playing tennis tonight but rain stop play.

Guests had Mel from GM fitness for a personel training session, they used all the gym equipment and were pushed to their limit.  Mel left with 3 trays of eggs for the Cardiff gym, where they go down a storm!
