A shop in Farndale? That’s either brave or very community spirited (or both). Good luck to them

A proper proud parent day. Thank you to the teachers @maltonschool for their talent, enthusiasm and hard work

Gardening question of the day. Do the French really eat radish for breakfast?

A beautiful morning to be up on the moor with the sun burning off the early haze

It’s the annual birthday camping sleepover tonight. After looking at the forecast I’ve found guy ropes on this tent which haven’t even been unravelled before

Well, that’s this year’s pigs gone. Couldn’t have picked a much worse morning to do it but after 4 years we’re well drilled. Not sure what I’ll do when my helpers start going to uni (not the one pictured)

New arrivals. Just 2 this year

Off to sea for the first time in a while…

One of my favourite evenings of the year

First sign of asparagus growth. It’s probably not going to be too pleased when it snows tomorrow
