When I was cutting the lawn, I had a visitor! Harriet’s pet sheep called Betty! She was quickly followed by a few more!

Ooohhh 🤤
The Thomas Wright House which is about a 15 minute walk/5 minute drive from us, is a restaurant with food that definitely tickles those taste buds!

Sticky toffee pudding with ice cream 🍨😍

Find this on our new winter menu 🍽️

In the farm yard we have a small shop (however not open all of the time), when we open up to sell our own produce such as lamb or beef and locally sourced pork.
This weekend is fresh lamb. Whatever lamb is left after this weekend will be put in the freezer and can be purchased anytime. If you are staying with us and would like to have a nosey of what we have for sale then you can ask Shelly.

🌅 Such a pretty view last night from the garden.
Although I didn’t personally see the northern lights last night as I was 😴, we have a good spot to observe them from, a 30 second walk away from the cottage.

A bit of our farmhouse history was in the Northern Echo yesterday.
Old Park Hall Farm originally Old Park was a grand gothic mansion with its own Chapel.
In 1901 a lot of the building was demolished but there are still some parts that are left, such as the bottom right of the black and white photo of the mansion shows a small window which is still here today. Not on the old black and white photos but we also have a set of gothic windows to the left of our porchway. (See last photo)
