It’s that wonderful time of year when we
may wonder whether our summer is over or not, but not to fear;
there is plenty of good weather and sunshine to come, at least
according to the local experts.
Many thanks to everyone who contributed to
the fund to send Teresa on her charity trip to Moldova. Teresa
managed to raise all the funds she required and by the time you
read this, will be working with children in a Moldovan
orphanage.
We are happy to say that the parachute jumpers (Noreen and
Josef) who helped raised funds for Teresa both landed safely and
enjoyed the event. Feel free to congratulate them next time you
call in.
With all the good weather we have been
having, it has been necessary to water the strawberries. Of
course, we give our fruit nothing but the purest of spring
water, taken directly from the old farmhouse well on our farm.
It is preferable to the municipal supply, which contains
fluorine and chlorine, which plants do not react well too. And
of course, if you want to drink it yourself, it also tastes much
nicer.
Our farm-shop is really busy
right now. We have ready-picked strawberries or you may pick
your own. We also have raspberries (though not pick-your-own)
and as always, we have apple juice, strawberry and plum jam and
apple jelly. We now also have a new product, which is our
home-made cider vinegar.
 In the past two
weeks people visiting our farm will have noticed a new arrival.
We have now got a new Labrador puppy to keep our old Labrador
company. Her name is Judie, and we got her near Whitelands Cross
between New Inn and Poulmucka. She is golden in colour and very
well behaved. She does not even bark much at night. Give her a
rub next time you call into the sales shed. We are keeping her
there during the day until she gets used to the traffic.
