Dave the sheep joins the donkeys!

admin — Wed, 17 Apr 2013 08:20:42 +0000

We’ ve got a new addition on the farm – Dave the sheep, as acquired from Simone’s sister (where he was an over-zealous back garden muncher).

He’d been bottle-fed so is very tame and even responds to his name (sometimes!) Dave has become firm friends with the donkeys who seem to like having having something round and fluffy about.

Note he wears a collar so that he can go on his lead to be walked to and from his stable every morning and evening – the animal-loving vegetarians Simone and Roger don’t want him to be lonely in the field at night!

New paving area beside walled garden

The boys have been laying new paving cobbles to cover the otherwise gravelled area next to the walled garden. It means there’s an extra mingling space for wedding guests plus the paving features not one but two chess boards!

These yoga retreats are a very special opportunity to learn the essence of Yoga free from the distractions of daily life, leaving you relaxed and rejuvenated. Such an experience can be transforming and encourage a healthier way of being.

Typically on a retreat there are yoga classes in the morning and most evenings practising different postures and using a number of different breathing exercises. There are also opportunities to learn different techniques for relaxation and meditation which will leave your body energised and your mind happy and calm.
Of course you do not have to attend everything – there is no pressure and during the retreat we will also advice and help you to set up your own personalised routine for home practice.
