Bit of a catch up.

It has been a while since my past post. So what has been going on.... well the cattle handling unit or coral got its crash barriers attached. Johnny also put it to the test and rounded up the cows to take one back to calf. Still a few finishing touches to do. Cut the top of the post off and reinforcing the fence being the main bits. While I am on about Johnny and the cattle here is a link to Spinney Abbey Farm’s website. Plenty of lovely produce and some ghost stories too.

Also Jason finished fencing the ha-ha on Burwell fen. The idea did work in part, and it was a shame to have to fence it, but we got to keep them cows off the path. In areas where the ditch is likely to hold water all year round and if we can make the edge a bit steeper I hope we can try it again. A ha-ha would not be subject to the continued management the fences need and in my opinion look a lot nicer.

The fence is up, the ramp for the composting toilet is in and the foundations are in place. All we need to do now is build everything! Hopefully before Christmas we will get the cabins or pods constructed. It looks to be a pretty tall order though and plenty of hard work.
