Cottages countryside location

What's happening on the farm, and around the cottage.

This year started off with a mild & sunny spring with lots of bulbs in the garden & lots of blossom on the trees.

The big news for June was the rest of the drive was tarmaced, so now we have a proper road right through to the gate.

The young cows have been out since the beginning of May. Hopefully they are all in calf. They will be returning home in due course to have their calves & then they will be joining the milk cows.

August was the harvest month when grass, wheat & oats were cut for silage, being the winter feed for the cows.

Our new neighbors have a falconry (see link). They give instruction on how to keep birds, how to fly them, &also have hunting days for experienced falconers in the dales. The cottage may be rented by visitors attending the courses.

Exact details of how to reach the cottage will be sent to visitors making a booking. The property is not really suitable for visitors who do not have a car as the bus which passes the end of the lane (440 yards away) runs only 2 or 3 times a day, although there is a half hourly service from the village to Keighley.
