There’s lots to do around our area in April and here’s just a few events to whet the appetite!

Lyme Regis beer festival just one day only on 31st March (well that’s nearly April)

Weymouth Food Festival - lots of yummy local artisan produce (31st April) – a good chance to take a look at the venue for the Olympic sailing before the crowds arrive

There’s hot cross buns and Easter Eggs for children at the Swanage Railway over the Easter period.

If it’s the arts your after how about: Bridport Film Festival 13th to 15th April (lots of media luvvies live around Bridport!), Sherborne Abbey Music festival 4th to 8th May (I know that’s not April but certainly worth mentioning) and finally the 2012 Jurassic Coast Festival – this is the UK’s only natural World Heritage Site and a wonderful place to visit; 4th to 9th May.

Sound intersting and maybe like a place to stay? Book Owl Barn by calling 01258 473923 or email Collette@woolhousefarm.co.uk

Wool House Farm has cattle invasion

collette — Fri, 28 Oct 2011 15:46:32 +0000

Our neighbour breeds cattle and had 11 heifers in the field next to our gardens. While we were away overnight, the naughty girls got through a gap in the fence caused by deer. You’d be amazed (we were!) at the amount of devastation they caused. We don’t have much of a flower garden left and our lawns resembled a field. Never mind, nature is a wonderful thing and I am already amazed how the gardens have recovered. After a winter’s rest it’ll all be as good as new.

The rains we’ve just had have evened out the ground already and the river and pond are looking wonderful. The autumn colours in the surrounding trees are just beautiful. Paul and I have at last found time to walk some of the many footpaths that lead right from our doorstep. The surrounding countryside is beautiful in autumn and there is so much to see.

The Chickens have landed

We are now the proud owners of 4 chickens and 2 bantams. They live in a lovely chicken house just by the alpacas’ pen. We’re told that alpacas will protect the chickens from foxes. We have 2 Sussexs (Mrs and Mrs Sussex), a Plymouth (Lois) a hybrid (Henny Penny) and two Pekin Bantams (Dotty and Rosie). They were only 10 weeks or so old when then arrived two weeks ago so are still a little young to lay eggs. Nevertheless, the laying box is thoroughly examined everyday just in case of a miracle.

Autumn is a lovely time to visit the Dorset area, and the trees are now taking on the beautiful autumn colours. There are so many walks around Owl Barn and some start right on our doorstep.
