We are very glad our new "swimming pool" is fixed, especially with the heat of the last week or so - some of the people in the garden looked as though they might want to join us in the water at times! Can't complain though - after the freezing temperatures all winter, we much prefer this!
The gardens are getting better each day under the careful supervision of Dayel who is watering the new grass regularly and now gardeners Chris and Jean have put back some pond plants too. Won't be long before we have all the fences down and are fully back to normal. Good thing too as it is pretty busy here at the moment and lots of people in the gardens enjoying hot cross buns, and today fish and chips (Good Friday). Tomorrow we have St Georges Day stuff going on with the potters holding drop in workshops making dragon scales and shields!

The Chickens are particularly pleased at the moment as they have some new "luxury accommodation" with a lovely view of the pond. They are still being put away at night though as the fox could still get into the pen.

In the field life is becoming more active too - Floss and Molly the two chestnut mares have a new friend, Roxy - she is only 6 and has quite a 'personality'. This week she let herself, and the others, into the falconry flying area by playing with the gate catch - we will watch her antics with interest, especially when the cows get here next week! Georgia (Roxy's human slave) and her Mum have been working hard with Roxy's mane and tail in the photo, trying to thin it out as she is so hot - very fashionable we think it will catch on!
