I think it's fair to say that it's been one of the busiest weeks we've had at the farm in a little while. Between the extra cleaning out with animals inside, the extra food rounds needed at this time of year and preparing for our Christmas panto, we've had preparations to keep our birds safe. Unfortunately bird flu (or avian flu) is now spreading a...

The countdown to Christmas has well and truly started and while I am at home defending my tree from Teddy attacks (turns out my kitten is a pretty good tree climber) the farm is getting more prepared for the festivities too. We've not only got our pallet Christmas tree joining us across the live feeds and rush hour (who I think will last longer tha...

I do wonder if I'll ever get to my weekly CaenhillCC blog and say it's been a quiet week. Sometimes I think it might even happen, but this week is certainly not the week as we've been busy settling into our new normal and preparing for everything ahead. If you're wondering what our new normal is, well, to start with it's a lot of live feeds. Chris ...

Through the years at the CaenhillCC project we're very privileged to say that a lot of the animals no longer at the farm have moved on rather than been lost. Some were housed with us for a short time and moved on with their owners, others went on to loving homes as pets (like my kitten Teddy), while the rest went to other projects or to support bre...

You might be like me and be totally unprepared for Christmas, I've got a huge list to work my way through, but this week we're ramping up the Christmas preparations at the farm. You might think it feels a little early but with so many animals to get treats for and so many of you that we want to share the celebration with, it really is the sooner we...

You'll no doubt have noticed that it's been a pretty big week at the farm this week, and I will talk about our biggest news, but before we get there we can't forget the rest of the farm. Even when we're celebrating we're still looking after the animals and developing the project at the same time. Farming never stops. One of the areas we've been con...

You'd only need to see the pictures sent between Chris, Caroline and myself this week to know it's been another fun but busy week on the farm. There have been some interesting outfits that I'm still waiting to hear more about, outings and card designs which I'll tell you more about later and of course, what might be the last of the Birthday celebra...

It's going to be a difficult job to sum up this week, but I'll give it my best shot, because it's been a busy but fantastic week which ended with a pretty special Birthday. Well, strictly speaking, it ended with Birthday celebrations, Chris' actual Birthday isn't until next week but we couldn't miss the opportunity to celebrate with you all at home...

With October shaping up to be a busy month we've been using the end of September to get all of our ducks in a row. It turns out we've got too many ducks to line up, so we decided to concentrate on getting ready for winter instead. The weather will be against us before we know it, we've already had a lot of rain, so we need our animals ready in thei...

What a week it's been at the farm this week, I feel like I need to lie down. There's no time for rest though, especially with the CaenhillCC photo calendar created by myself, Chris and Casey almost complete. We've had a few last minute photo switches, a few things we still wanted to capture, but we're almost ready to share it with you. I just hope ...
