whoops, and Forest Tots

Urgh, like all good intentions, this seems to have gone a little awry!!!

I'm honestly not sure what has happened to the last month, I think it's been taken up with a poorly toddler mostly, but also fighting to keep pigs in, foxes out, weeds down and playgroups started.

I know it's not very farm related, but I'm very excited about a  new playgroup that a friend and I are starting in the Forest.  It's called Forest Tots, and is an outdoor playgroup.  That is we are outside unless the weather makes it dangerous to play in the woods.  We have a website, but it isn't finalised yet, so I won't post a link here, but I will steal the bit from the Philosophy page, as I think it's rather lovely!
