| Louis on the Prowl! |
Louis - our posh new Hampshire Down ram arrived last week.
He set to work with his new ladies almost immediately and we await our new arrivals (due at the end of March) with eager anticipation.
Otherwise, life goes on at the usual hectic pace here at The Barton. Autumn has certainly made itself felt in Devon, and we've had a huge amount of rain. But between the showers, it's still beautiful on the farm.
We have produced our own apple juice (with the help of the kind people at Westlake Farm, who produce wonderful award-winning Perry from our perry pear tree). It's available to order in advance for £2.75 per bottle, and we also have a limited amount of delicious Westlake Cider available.
We've already started to take bookings for 2012 for The Barton Granary and Brimbles and have even taken a booking for 2013 - now that's what I call planning ahead!
I'm looking forward to welcoming the remainder of our 2011 guests and to getting the cottages ready for Christmas and New Year.
