Quieter Times

20/11/2016 by mike

This is one of the quietest times of the year for us, the garden has been tidied up the sheep are by the chalet ready to go in if the weather turns really cold and all our outdoor patio stuff is put away, so we take some time to go out walking or travelling around. […]

Scytheing and Haymaking

16/07/2016 by mike

I thought it would be a good idea to explain some of the activities that we get up to over here in Slovakia and this the first of many I hope. In preparation for the winter we have to cut and dry hay to feed our sheep as they will be inside our barn from […]

Looks as though its over…..

05/04/2016 by mike

Winter that is, I don’t think anyone has seen a winter like this one for a long time, we have been able to look out of our chalet and watch the area go from white to green and back to white again so many times in the last three months it really has tested us […]
