Clee Hill Views
We had a young American friend staying for the weekend and decided to show her the views from the top of Clee Hill. It had been a while since we’d been and I had forgotten how spectacular they are. From the top of the hill you get an almost 360 degree view over Shropshire, Herefordshire, Worcestershire, Wales and beyond - it is truly breathtaking - especially when it is as windy as it was on Sunday! This is the view looking from Titterstone Clee towards Brown Clee.

We have just returned from a long weekend in Northern Ireland, visiting my sister and her husband. We spent the weekend on the North Antrim coast which has some of the most dramatic and unspoilt coastline of the UK.
We arrived home to the news that the bacon was ready for collection - I was pleasantly surprised at the amount and quality from 2 loins and will definitely be opting for more home grown bacon in the future. The perry is bubbling away by the woodburner and I aim to rack it off and add some sugar this weekend.

The photo shows my 2 handsome cockerels - of the 6 eggs that hatched out in the Spring only 1 has turned out to be a cockerel - which is really good news as that means 5 more laying hens - I just need to find out where they are laying, as it certainly isn’t in the hen house!
