Visitors arriving to see the baptismal pond

It is the time of year when we start to get lots of visitors to the pond. They come to visit from all over the world.

New disabled access to the Baptism Pond

The first of our capital projects paid for by the Higher Level Scheme (HLS) is a disabled access pond to view the Baptism Pond and the vineyard - a really exciting development

A brace of ducks

Love is in the air at the baptismal pond! A brace of ducks have decided to return for another year to the pond. Last year I wasn't able to get close enough to take a photograph but I must be getting better in my technique! Let's hope that I can get some photos of the ducklings too when they arrive.

Autumn Time at Benbow Pond

Autumn has really come to the farm now and here are some photos of the Benbow Pond. We don't get as many visitors at this time of year so I thought I would post some photos.

Rain swells mormon pond

The high rainfall recently has swelled the size of the Mormon pond outside of the railings. The visitors are starting to return for another year.

March continues like a lion

The weather has been pretty wild for our farm walks this Easter weekend. We have had to wrap up warm! and definitely not for elegance.

The recent rain has added to the water in the "Mormon" pond (see photo). It was in early March 1840 that the converts were baptised - must have been pretty cold if it was anything like the weather that we are currently experiencing!

Morris and Maggie the pest controllers also took a well-earned Easter break (see photo). They seem to like the chair by the computer the most for a quick power nap!
