Midsummer

 

 We're at Midsummer and it's a perfect day.

Perfect for a walk in the woods

or

 

 a visit to the sea.

A little Springwatch of our own

 
The blackbirds have built a nest just by our door

giving us our very own Springwatch 2010.

What we are doing - enjoying the blossom on a rainy day

 
Another wet weekend

but the weather doesn't keep us out of the orchard

the blossom is so pretty covered in raindrops.

 

What we are doing - visiting a new foal

 
This is Poppy

a Shetland filly foal,

she is just a day old.

Isn't she gorgeous?

 

Orchard Blossom

 

Pear Blossom

This May Bank Holiday we've been enjoying the blossom in the orchard.

 

Apple Blossom

What we are doing - Badminton Horse Trials

 

This Bank Holiday weekend we are enjoying Badminton Horse Trials

 you can walk the course here

or watch a dressage test here 

What we are doing - visiting a gallery

 
  to see our son's orchard photographs exhibited.

It's Still Raining!

 
It's been a rather rainy week here at Renaissance HQ, not very nice weather for pruning and not much fun for the horses.

What we are doing - making the most of a rainy weekend

 
Just like this little family of ducks by the village pond

we're making the most of our weekend, even if it is rainy.
