Buffs Old Barn

11/06/2024

Buffs Old Barn has been overlooking empty fields this Spring. However there has been lots of survey activity, collecting data about all sorts, winter birds, nesting birds, bats, newts, badgers, deer (Woodside gives shelter to both Muntjac and Chinese water deer), soil type, ground water levels, tree species and the like all for the proposed energy projects here. Lots of project activity around Kenton Hill, Sizewell with probably some wildlife moving on from there.
One thing that we can depend on in Suffolk though is the variety of music for all tastes. There are so many, but at Easton Farm Park on the 5th 6th & 7th July it will host the Maverick festival once again. Born in 2008 it is the UK’s first and finest Americana music event for roots music from both sides of the Atlantic. Brilliant venues there, terrific line-up, and safe for the kids, great beer and food. What is not to like! https://maverickfestival.co.uk/the-festival/

What a changeable introduction to Spring here in Friston. However, the weather records tell me that you can expect rain for half (8 to 15 days) of the Month of February in Suffolk and a few days of snow. Rubber boots, an umbrella and mittens are recommended as you explore! The flowers are telling us that better things are on the way and oh my goodness the roadway to Buffs Old Barn does require those rubber boots if you plan to walk this way!!

It is February again and we wanted the lovely couple who gave Anne & I the Robin nest box to see its location.
You know who you are and yes it is in there. We are hopeful that this residence has been inspected through the winter and will be used this year.
We had some lovely Suffolk sunsets recently, sorry I don't have the kit to do the colours justice, but the sky can be so lovely here. Jeannie & Anne XX
