We moved into the smallholding on January 15th of this year and it seems there are still lots of places I haven't yet seen properly and lots to discover that changes with the seasons. Let me show you what I mean.
I discovered this tree/bush right outside my back door that I had no idea was there. I believe it is a quince tree?

| It's only about knee high, this is me looking down on it. |
 |
Steven tried it, it was very sour.
To the left of the patch where the quince tree is a gate which a wall now stands behind. This wall now separates us from the neighbours. The gate used to lead out to the working part of the farm, the old barns and stables.

 |
| I'm wondering if this area is too shaded to have as a herb garden? I'd like to do something with the space but I am not sure what. |
 |
| So many huge pots outside of the very small brick barn. |
 |
| This was left by the previous owners, we're going to use the trough for the sheep |
 |
That's the barn infront of Steven, our neighbours house to the right.
 |
 |
| The other side of the barn, the wall to the right is newly built and is the neighbours. I'm not sure why they left this passageway. |

| Getting ready for Christmas |
These photos make up most of my thinking for the weekend. What could we do with the space, what did people do with it before us? How to make the most of it all....my mind is overflowing with ideas which is fabulous.
We're also looking at the area where the polytunnel and new raised beds will go, more on that tomorrow. I'm off to cook the chicken for our Sunday Dinner - sets us up for the working week ahead.
