Another Day at the Farm

 

We had another couple of days at the farm. The whole lot of us this time. Even Lal and John came up in their caravan.

 

Saturday morning was extremely thundery and wet, but we decided to go up anyway. Luckily the rain stopped and the day turned out to be brilliant.

Ben and Corinne showed us all the improvements they have made to the farm. Everything is going along very well. The turkeys and chickens have grown tremendously since the last time we saw them.
