The cottage is on our working arable farm. Depending on the time of year, you could see the tractors working in the fields, ploughing, and planting the crops. When the weather is good during the summer, the combine will be harvesting the wheat and barley. The hay is cut, dried, and baled in front of the cottage in the spring. If you are here in July or August, you may be lucky to see the pea viners come into the fields to vine our peas for Birds Eye.
The farm is surrounded by fields that are home to plenty of wildlife and birds. There are red kites and buzzards in the area, along with pheasant, partridge, and our local barn owls. Often the hares and rabbits play in the field in front of the cottage.
As the farmstead is a mile from our nearest neighbours, there is minimal light pollution letting you see the stars. When it is clear, you may even glimpse the space station.
