Nanplough Farm Country House & Cottages

To all our farmers heading down to London today, and all our farmers having to stay behind to milk, to feed calves, to tend to their flocks and pigs - to do what they do every single day.

To those who own their farms, and to those that rent their farms. To those who have enjoyed a lifetime working their land and building a resilient business that the next generation are excited to take on. To those that are just starting out and battling to make ends meet. To those who have invested heavily in getting their farms future proofed. To those who probably should be slowing down a bit, but can't. To those who love their way of life, and those that are questioning their way of life. To those who are struggling to know what to do next. To those who are terrified of what might come next.

To those who work so hard to feed our nation, take care of our beautiful countryside and pass on your knowledge, work ethic and lifestyle to the next generation.

Know that we stand right behind you. The whole bloody country does.

Took the camera on a fungi hunt and wasn’t disappointed then as the usually boggy waters edge was walkable I took a wander where I haven’t been for walk for a few years, put my camera away and sat a while enjoying the peace and quiet and of course that’s when a deer showed up 🙄 typical !!!

Today is the day the hens get their turf back, no more food fights with the new lambs, no more breakages ( sheep 1- chicken shed stand 0 ) Peace has returned to the orchard and the hens are happy free ranging once more except for little Mr Snicket who seemed to take to the woolly bullies somewhat but was soon happily enjoying his sunflower hearts in peace and quiet. So Timmy has 2 new buddies, Joshua and Crystal now have 3 sheep to snuggle down with in the barn at night and I get back a calm feeding routine in the mornings , let’s hope the new house mates all get along nicely 🤞 welcome Bendy (Shauna ) & Shirley 🐑🐑

Its a Persistently raining kind of day but I still took a walk in the woods to enjoy the ever changing colours autumn brings, notice my wellies matched the leaves 🍂 ☺️
I sat a while and listened to the rain then headed back home , trying to ignore the sock inside my boot working its way stealthily down to my toes.
Despite the raincoat my jeans were pretty damp from climbing over fallen tree trunks so got back home to change into my comfies and make a start on dinner and it seems Mr Squirrel and the pheasants are feeling hungry too and are looking for a snack.
Enjoy your Sunday whatever you have planned, time for me to light the log burner and get on with some reading . 📚

Feeling the chill in the air on this blustery autumnal Sunday afternoon .
Perfect pudding thrown together in minutes made with the crisp Bramley apples fresh from the tree with a little added spice and a heap of buttery crumble cooking while the roasties are finishing in the oven. Only problem is Clotted Cream or ice cream ? Decisions decisions ! What would you have ( I’m not a fan of custard🫤)

September already ! The summer seemed to come and go in a flash ! (or downpour more like 🫤)
But there’s sunshine again , beautiful blue skies and a few little creatures still seeking sustenance for the chillier months ahead and here’s a few I was lucky to spot on my wanders, the first when I was headed out the door , never seen one before so had to look him up and he’s a Mayfly or Ephemera , the second, a stunning beauty, the comma butterfly , a newly planted Red Hot Poker is showing some promise and last, the stepping stones guiding you along the South West Coastal Path walk toward Mullion , redundant for a while until the stream starts flowing again which won’t be long I’m sure.
