Gorgeous walk with our dogs this morning up out of Oxton to the top of the Saxon burial mounts. Lots of sheep and lambs in the fields which are so joyous to see.

It’s now well into lambing season so just a reminder to keep your dogs on a lead when sheep are about. 🐕‍🦺

Did you know that on the farm we have some relatives of the world famous 1000 year old Nottinghamshire Major Oak - the very tree where Robin Hood and his Merry Men hid! 🌳 🏹

Given to us many years ago as tiny saplings, our oak trees are growing well. Let’s hope they also last a 1000 years 😊

Visit the original tree at nearby Sherwood Forest. 🪾🌳

On a walk around the farm along the grass paths around the fields you’ll see our horse Daisy who currently is in the field by Paddock View hut. Also there are the ponies: Teddy and Tigger who have smaller paddocks so they don’t eat too much grass.

Spring emerging at pace with the first frogspawn - or is it toad spawn? I think it’s frogspawn which tends to be in clumps. 🐸🐸🐸

When you book into a stay on our farm you will notice the profusion of natural wildlife around you.

Yesterday we had a pair of stunning woodpeckers visit and we can often hear them in the woods nearby. We also have many hares who quietly hide in the grass as you walk past plus deer prints can be seen but are very shy!

Gorgeous sunny day today so Piglet and I had a nice walk around the farm. 🐕

The huts looked lovely in the dusk light and the days are getting longer.

Why not book a night or two now the weather is hopefully turning for the better. ☀️
