Cherries and Ladybirds

Thank goodness we had the good weather during the first weeks of lock-down. There has been some sunshine but wet days continue and the wind has been a nuisance.

Yesterday the farm welcomed back visitors.
Not such a good day to arrive, however, with wind and rain.

The day before we did the last tidying up round the pond, though we still need turf round the edge. 
The logs are in position so people can sit quietly and watch.

The cherry tree by the insect hotel has produced an amazing crop of cherries. How often do you get to pick a bowl of cherries.
Delicious.

Elsewhere around the garden the fairy yurt platform has been designated as a sitting area this year with seats and bunting and a nearby insect hotel.

We've moved the fairy palace into a new position with less danger of falling in the pond.

We have a smattering of new ladybirds.

A rogue poppy is growing on the path to the compost heaps. It is beautiful.

 We've spread more of the chipped bark, which spruces things up.

And I've completed the fairy washing line.


The blackcurrants are nearly ready to harvest. 
All in all everything looking good. Now we just need more sunshine.
