What another beautiful day today, so time to get into the polytunnel to think about sowing a few seeds! Bit late, according to the packet, but I'm giving cauliflowers a go this year - we'll see how they do. Also some bean seeds kept back from last year's crop - not sure how these will do either but you don't know unless you try! Must remember to keep the sweet peas quite separate from the edible variety - unlike last year which meant I had the colourful scented variety in amongst my broad beans whilst the edible variety rambled up my rambling roses!
Had my first trip to Forest Lodge, excellent, if expensive, garden centre near Farnham, yesterday and passed the Jenny Wren farm belonging to Birdworld. It's a great day out for everyone, but the Jenny Wren farm is particularly loved by toddlers who can get 'hands on' experience of a variety of different animals- spotted a donkey as I drove past. Birdworld is just a 20 minute drive from The Barn and has lots to do and see - not just birds. Take a look at http://www.birdworld.co.uk/ for further information on one of the local attractions to The Barn http://www.barfordfarmhouse.com/

The photograph shows some of the bantams found at The Barn. Young children love to feed them and to collect their delicious eggs.
