Hmmm.
Think Bracken may need a bigger winter coat. Lots of hay in his shelter tonight to keep his bottom warm!

We home grow all the flowers and foliage in our welcome vase.
Last of the roses in this one with our favourite year round foliage of rosemary. Smells divine.

Love living in the Forest.
A bumper harvest this year for our chestnut tree. This was just the first batch and there’s plenty left for wildlife.
Think this calls for a lazy afternoon roasting some on the wood burner… 🤤

Major worry and panic this morning at Perry Pear Cottage.
Mop, the alpaca, appeared to have a head injury.
On closer inspection he’d just wiped his head on a blackberry.

The weather for the next couple of days is forecasted to be extremely hot, but luckily the museum is a cool oasis this time of year!

Come and cool off while you explore the museum.

We are open everyday 10:00-17:00 ☀️

Gorgeous spring flowers coming into bloom at Perry Pear Holiday Cottage.

What better way to spend the day after saying a sad goodbye to some regular guests but to meet family at Soudley Ponds. Lovely walk followed by lunch at Dean Heritage Centre Bottoms Up everyone (especially the rather dramatic one at the back)

Busy morning here at Perry Pear holiday cottage. The flock of siskins are out in force and visuals on the Blue T**s checking out the nest boxes.
Lots of lovely activity. Spring is in the air.
Recommend the Merlin Bird App.

I spy with my little eye something beginning with ‘S’
Last year we transplanted some snowdrops from our garden to under the field hedges at the holiday cottage (safely out of reach from browsing alpacas). So pleased they’ve taken to their new home and settled in.
Want to see more snowdrops in and around the Forest? We recommend the beautiful
Wye Valley Sculpture Garden, Tintern and Painswick Rococo Garden
