bluebells and art are the flavour of the week here at bluebell farm. the birds are in full chorus. springtime song and welcome us every morning with their very best the bluebells are in full bloom, and their delicate scent bluebells us as the wander up the drive. the hornbeam and red robin 🍃 are flourishing on what was our stable yard, and the bluebells sit on the site of the cattle sheds. our amazing ground workers worked wonders during the final stage of our build in 2018 to put in place the basics for our garden. 🌱 the concrete was dug up and broken into small pieces for the base of the driveway (no waste was removed to landfill from our site - we repurposed it all) and top soil was moved from our field, and fencing erected. we bought the hornbeam and red robin from our local chew valley trees and had them planted with the mini digger - so much easier for us in the long run and it’s given us the chance to have a relatively mature garden just three years in! it’s good to be able to sit back with a glass of wine and watch the sunset on the terrace and think about how far we’ve come. we’re great dog lovers and we were keen to manage muddy paws 🐾 and these are kept at bay with the terraces and gravel- our old farmhouse front door came straight off the field. we have two outside taps for paws and plants, although lola prefers a quick shower after her morning run. annie’s keen to put a dog shower into her new house (which is still at the concept stage) and it shows that’s there’s always room for improvement! 🐕 the forecast for this weekend is warmth and sunshine and we’re looking forward to sampling some art at the wedmore arts festival. lola has her dear friend monty coming and she can’t wait to wander down into wedmore to enjoy a coffee at the swan 🦢and art in the lerburne 🖼 🌿☀️ wedmore really is a village with a very big heart!.
