THE "DAWN" OF A NEW ERA

IN SEPTEMBER 06 WE STARTED THE LONG MOVE FROM SUSSEX TO OUR NEW FARM IN WALES.

THREE MONTHS LATER AFTER THIRTEEN HORSE RUNS AND NEARLY AS MANY TRIPS AGAIN WITH THE LORRY FULL OFF ALL OUR POSSESSIONS AND THE OTHER ANIMALS, WE ARRIVED.

WE WERE VERY LUCKY TO HAVE KACY TO HELP WITH SOME OF THE DRIVING.

OUR NEW HOME IS A 61 ACRE GREEN OASIS, 800 METRES ABOVE SEA LEVEL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BEAUTIFUL BRECHFA FOREST.

THE ANIMALS QUICKLY SETTLED IN

AND HAD GREAT FUN EXPLORING AND INVESTIGATING THEIR NEW HOME

WHILE THE ANIMALS RESTED AND PLAYED, THE HUMANS SET TO WORK.

WE RE-ROOFED THE STONE BARNS, STARTED A NEW DRIVEWAY AND WITH GREAT EFFORT MANAGED TO GET THE MOBILE HOME PASSED THE HOUSE AND BUILDINGS AND DOWN INTO THE BACK GARDEN.

 DURING OUR FIRST WINTER WE AWOKE ONE MORNING AND LOOKED OUT OF THE WINDOW TO DISCOVER THAT WE HAD OUR FIRST EXPERIENCE OF A "SMATTERING" OF WELSH SNOW.

AS EVERYONE KNOWS THERE IS SOMETHING VERY BEAUTIFUL ABOUT FRESHLY FALLEN SNOW. THE FOLLOWING PICTURES SHOW JUST HOW BEAUTIFUL IT IS AT GWARALLT AND THE SURROUNDING COUNTRYSIDE.

BUT COME RAIN OR SNOW THE WORK MUST GO ON.

THEN ITS TIME FOR FUN AND GAMES.

WINTER DREW TO A CLOSE AND AS SPRING MOVED IN WE HAD A VERY NICE SURPRISE IN THE GARDEN.

WE HAVE A FEW ACRES OF WOODLAND ON OUR LAND WITH MANY ANCIENT AND UNUSUAL TREES

SURROUNDING A VERY PRETTY DINGLE DELL.

AND AS SPRING ROLLED INTO SUMMER WE WERE ONCE AGAIN IN FOR A SURPRISE AS THE DELL AND WOODLAND BECAME SMOTHERED IN BLUEBELLS.

AS THE SUN SETS ON THE END OF OUR FIRST YEAR AT GWARALLT, WE HOPE YOU HAVE ENJOYED LOOKING AROUND THE FARM AS MUCH AS WE HAVE ENJOYED LIVING IN THIS TRULY WONDERFUL PLACE.

THERE REALLY IS A POT OF GOLD AT THE END OF THE RAINBOW.
