Last year, on 23rd February, I posted about the frogs returning to mate and leave our pond filled with spawn.

And today, 23rd February 2025, they are here again, having arrived about a week ago. And the pond is full of frog spawn once again.

That probably means cold weather is about to arrive and the pond will be frozen over.

I better go and cut some wood.

This winter we have been busy updating The Lodge. The Lodge at Darrynane is well over 100 years old, having been built at the same time as Darrynane House.

It is a one bedroomed cottage with lounge and separate but linked kitchen, and a bathroom which has a bath with shower over.

There are 2 electric radiators, heated towel rail and a wooburner. There is a private access with gated parking for 1 car.

The Lodge is tucked away in a woodland valley on the edge of Bodmin Moor.

As always dogs will be very welcome, other pets by owners consent.

And from 21st March 2025 it will be available for holidays and short breaks.

You can book on line at www.darrynane.co.uk or email [email protected]. Please call if you have any questions - 07968 129005

Just like the famous swallows that return to San Capistrano in California every year, so the Frogs of Darrynane do something similar. Every year around late january / early February the frogs return to our pond to mate and breed, leaving large amounts of frogspawn behind when they disappear. This leads to a huge number of baby frogs that leave the pond and head out to the garden to grow, and when they are big enough, return to continue the circle of life. The spawning each year can be linked to the first pond freeze after February 1st. And this year, they were back.

I was asked why we always recommend taking out travel insurance. The simple answer is to cater for unexpected events, and not just covid. Recently someone had to cancel very last minute because their dog was taken ill. Not something they expected. And over the years there have been other instances of cancellations. Having said that there have only been a few. It is worth considering, thats all
