It's been a breathtaking autumn here so far in the Waveney valley, beautiful misty mornings followed by blue sky sunny days.

The valley is singing with nature all day long, the geese are flocking in their hundreds to warmer climates.

We still have the cows which is lovely, hopefully they will be around for a few more weeks yet before they cosy down for the winter.

I am sorry to use the C word...... but if you were thinking or wanting to spend any of the Christmas holidays in the Barn we only have the main event left!

Out of the two main weeks we only have Christmas eve, Christmas day and boxing day left! Otherwise we are fully booked till 7th January.

I know it feels early to organise as we have just eased into autumn, but people are getting organised.

This was the view last Christmas xx

It's busy harvest time here in the vegetable gardens, I just love these squashes especially roasted with oil and lots and salt and pepper...

We also have lots of carrots, swedes, courgettes.

Will leave the parsnips and celeriacs till we have some frosts, my grandad always told me you don't pick parsnips till the first frost so that's what we do :)

Crumbles are plenty at the minute with all the Gorgeous blackberry's about and our cookers are ready and delicious! It's been lovely the last couple of evenings to warm the cockles up!

We have made some cider and apple juice and some are drying out, the rest will probably be for eating now as the little man likes to pick an apple every morning to eat on our way to letting the chickens out ❤️

It's taken me nearly 3 weeks to write this post, for those of you that know me will know that my animals are not really pets but family members ❤️ and for those of you that know me really well will know how much I loved my dear 'little boy'. Its been nearly 3 weeks since we lost him and I am still so heartbroken, it's so quiet without him and not because he was really noisy but because he had such a presence and the way he used to walk around with his ladies finding food for them and grooming each other ❤️💔

They miss him too, letting them out in the morning and shutting the hen house at night is still the hardest part as he is not there.

You must think I am mad being so attached to a Cockerall, I had him since he was a chick which was about 8 years ago. He used to climb up my arm and sit on my shoulder and then walk around the garden with me, during his adolescent stage he wouldn't go to bed unless I was there, such a mummy's boy.

Fly high my 'little boy' and hope you have endless amounts of mealworms where you are now. I will look after your girls for you ❤️

The sheep have been sheared and looking like beautiful tiny little goats now !! It was Baaabaras and Baaarbies first time and they did amazingly well. Its so lovely having a little flock and how they have settled in with Annie and Minnie.

My favourite part of this first photo is Annie and Baaarbara looking on saying oh it's me next! :)

Have a great Bank Holiday weekend ❤️

From all the wind we have had recently we noticed our owl box was a bit on the squif, hopefully you can see the box in this picture. We thought best make it safe and secure so it will stay put and hopefully not disturbed anyone in there.

This is the very end of where our land ends onto the beautiful Waveney Valley (even when the sky is grey I think)

If you squint in the second picture you will see the Swan on her nest and the third picture a lot closer. She comes every year, won't be long till gorgeous grey signets are swimming about.

It is such a privilege and joy to share our home and space with nature, we have encouraged wildlife here from day 1 and the range we get is amazing, although with the water and conditions so much comes naturally.

This is something our guests absolutely love here the fact they are surrounded by so much nature and have that glorious birdsong all on their doorstep.

This beautiful film created by @laurabushbyfilms of the lovely soul Amy @meraki_healing_therapies .This film was lovingly created here @waveney_valley_barn Just writing that makes me go all warm and fuzzy and seeing the flags in the gentle breeze, GOOSEBUMPS!! I felt so honoured when Amy asked me if she could have some photos done here, which led me to ask 'why here'. Amy's response with a smile and a laugh, almost confused as to why i was asking the question ' because its so beautiful and magical here, what you have created here. It has such a lovely feeling and it's not just the place itself its also the people behind it and who have created and saved it' Wow ❤️ I won't go into what we have done to the old gal in our 11 years of being her custodian, but I did sit and tell Amy. As I was telling Amy everything we have been through rescuing her I could see that she was also starting to be put under the same spell as us 11 years ago. Amy is now also a little part of the tapestry here ❤️🌟 I really do love sharing this place with beautiful souls and people who get it, get what we have done and also get the same fuzzy, warm feeling when they arrive. I am lucky enough to know Amy and Laura personally, both fabulous women and extremely talented and passionate about what they do. I am also lucky that both Amy and Laura are part of this journey with me, whilst Amy offers massage and reiki to our guests Laura offers photoshoots and films to guests here @waveney_valley_barn creating long life memories.

A not so glamorous Instagram post but a very real honest behind the scenes what and how much work goes into the logs that are burnt here in the Barn. That's right every single log that is used in the woodburner here @waveney_valley_barn has been cut and split by yours truly. That is love hey ❤️ I have worked out that I touch each piece of wood 7 times before you get it out of the basket. All part of the good life here processing your own wood and it gives me immense pride and satisfaction that the wood our guests use I have processed myself. #waveneyvalleybarn #wavneyvalley #lumberjack #woodburner #woods #thegoodlife #sustainability #love #riverwaveney #norfolkretreat #suffolkretreat
