Odiham's new arrivals














Just before we have our own arrivals on the farm, RAF Odiham took delivery of the not-so-shiny-and-new MK3 Chinooks. So the boy's were obviously out to see what these more powerful and quieter battle busses could do. How do those thinks stay in the air??

Needless to say, our boys and girl out in the field beneath them, didn't raise an eyebrow as the grass is just too tasty!

We will not be beaten by the snow.

The brickie and his trusty foreman (Charlie) continued building the stable fronts this week once the antifreeze had been added to the mortar, this is not usual for our temperate isle!



Helped by the dogs we warmed up the batteries and fired up the laser to guide the excavators while leveling the new manége, in this weather all those litle jobs seem to be taking so much longer, but hey, it's all happening. And with arrivals at the end of the month, we can't let the wonderful british weather hold us back!

Work continues


After a couple of days being alone, everyone made it back to the farm and work could recommence. First task, dig our way back in!

A quiet day in the snow

With a thick blanket of snow on the ground, all work had to stop as the builders could not get out of their respective corners of England. The calm within the storm.

The horses make it through the snow

As 14 inches of snow fell, our horses made it from their open plan temporary stables into the new yard and out of the snow.
