The Navages
This is another of my very favourite walks (I have so many, each one seems to be my favourite walk according to which walk I'm on)! I usually take the truck half a mile up the road as the A44 is a very busy 
one. I rarely see anyone else up there even on a Sunday when you do expect to see a few more people about. I'm not sure if it's the smell of the wood which is really lovely at this time of year, the colours or the sounds which I like best. Once you reach the top of the road and you bear around to the right through the gates it's a case of hunt the ponies of which there are 3 I wish I knew their names.
There is a collection of stones that have been painted by children at some point and left I always go to visit them right on top of the rocks I do keep meaning to take one of mine and place it with them each one very different.

Cleaning out the Pool
October2011
One of the things that we have wanted to do on the farm for quite a long time is to clean out our pool. It has in the past few years been getting more and more reid mace, a few years ago I got in with my waders and physically pulled it out by hand and although this wasn't hard work it was extremely time consuming because as I got further out into the pool it was harder to throw the stuff to the banks. Well this summer because of the lack of rain the pool finally dryed up, so come the end of September Glyn got in with the 'BIG STUFF' and dug it out, it only took about a week and gosh what a difference it has made. All we want now is the rain to come so that it will re-fill again.

Malvern Quilt Show
Sunday 30th October 2011
Today we have had the loveliest day at Malvern Quilt Show. Freda in the driving seat, Sylvia and best friend Sue all with money burning a hole in our pockets! We had a nice early start to get to Malvern for 10.15am. It was a beautiful morning and the journey was so pretty the autumn colours stunning, infact it felt like hardly any time at all before we arrived. First stop a cappachino and a scone.
Although it's a much smaller show that the May one it's still a really enjoyable and I thought the quality of the Quilts amazing, sometimes we get so carried away by the stalls and we tend to rush the quilts but this time me and Sue spent a lot more time enjoying them and they really were of stunning quality.
Above are some of the quilts that I really loved, especially the Brighton Rock!
