Unfortunately our puppy training session were cancelled due to the lockdown, but we’re muddling along quite well. We decided it was the right time for our family to get a dog and he’s been a great comfort whilst we’re all at home.

    Every year we plant sunflower seeds in the hope we will have a stunning display of sunflowers. Every year they seem to get bigger and bigger. This year we have more time on our hands so we turned our wooden pallet mud kitchen into a planting station. It felt good to tidy it all up, sort out our plant pots and seeds and spend time outside.
