Autumn is a favourite time of the year up here on the farm, with the leaves changing colour every day and the hedges crammed with shiny berries.

The last swallows said their goodbyes in early October, one moment they were swooping over the garden and sitting on the wires by the house and the next they were gone.  We were lucky enough to visit Africa last month, and as well as giraffes and gerenuk (look them up!) we saw swallows enjoying the warm weather and feasting on flies, it’s an incredible journey they make to get there, a journey of over 6000 miles. Here’s the link to the full November Newsletter – it’s a great way of staying in touch with what’s happening at Broom House!
