A walk through
The paddock with me ....
Happy Sunday! Today I’m giving you a tiny tour of us, of one of my paddock walks.
This is us, in Spring.
A different kind of view to most farms in a not-too-dry Spring. Grey and whites as opposed to the deep greens and yellows of broadacre and layered greens of livestock farms. I love it like this, it’s incredibly natural and while it looks muted, dry and crispy, it’s abundant with life at this time of year.
I’ll be taking a small two-week break from this newsletter after this Sunday. Just to recharge the batteries and make the most of the remaining school holidays. Thank you for being here, as always. See you on the other side. Sxx
