Keep up to date with our daily blog about what has happened at Garth Hall Farm.
Riley’s 2nd Birthday
It must have been another cold night. I woke up with Skye being the big spoon 😂I got up an once I was dressed, I opened the curtains. Still dark but the cars parked opposite had very heavy frost on them. There wasn’t black ice which was good but the grass and the ground were…
An icy one
I woke up about 6 but the heating had just come on so it was a bit early for me to emerge from the covers. When I walked Skye, there was black ice on the pavements and roads. Luckily I had my farm boots on. It was still treacherous though. Neil messaged to say he…
Keeping busy to keep warm
There was plenty more work to do and it was still cold. I wanted to get on with things quickly in the hope that I could go and get bread as well as collecting 2 trees before dinner. I checked the weather forecast and there was some rain due at about 9.30. Ah well, I…
New Year, same old work
I’d slept reasonably well through the stupid New Year fireworks but poor Skye was upset even though she was drugged up. We slept in a bit. Neil said he would be at Garth Hall at 10 but I did manage to get there before that. The ducks were desperate to get out and the alpacas…
The debut of the ‘alpaca crush’
Lots to do and I didn’t wake until 6.45. At least I’d had a good sleep. It turned out to be a long day so I needed that! Emma arrived just as I went out to the truck. I had a few things in there to give to Jordan and had remembered them 😲 I…
Preparing for tomorrow
I had a weird dream and so a disturbed sleep. As a consequence, I slept in. I had washing to go on the line so I did that and got to Garth Hall late. Just after I’d unlocked the gate, I heard a quad in the distance so I left the gate ajar. I let…
Splash!
Early start as there was plenty to be done before the walk started and a fair bit after too! Skye went out the back to play, I put the bedding on to wash, had breakfast and then hung the washing out. We went for our walk and I just had time to brush my teeth…
What are you doing there?
I fed all the animals on Christmas morning. I take great pleasure in feeding them on Christmas morning for some reason. I do occasionally have enough of feeding them every day but it’s never a chore at Christmas. The weather was baltic 🥶 because of the wind but the sky was clear and the sun…
Escape from Alcatraz
I was tired and it was a cold morning. I could have done with a day off. I went off to Garth Hall, expecting to be really quick. I was cut up, twice, by two separate cars on the way up the dual carriage way 🤬I let the ducks out and then fed the alpacas…
Cramming all my jobs into the morning may not have been a wise move
I didn’t sleep well. Lots of waking up, lots of weeing and then just plain inability to sleep 🤦♀️ So, not the best start to the day. It was forecast to be quite nice so I was optimistic. I put a load of washing on. I put that on the line and brought in the coat…
