With all these fluffy items about the office, adventure dog Harvey, who is in dyer need of a hair cut, was on his guard in case he ended up being labelled too.
Gorgeous day at Toft today. Felt workshop office jolly tomorrow, is it Friday again already?!
Apparently this piece of Horse Chestnut was admired & stroked by the Queen herself at the first ever Royal Show. She was alleged to say it was the most beautiful example of Horse Chestnut she'd ever seen. Well who knows if this really occurred or indeed how many other examples of this wood type the Queen had seen on order to form this opinion!! Hell who cares, what a great story!
It's quite a wet and gloomy day here at the farm, so these two photos were not taken today, mainly because we don't want to get wet and cold outside! The first is a shot from the recent Toft Manor/Toft Alpacas photoshoot. As part of which Rob, Kerry and Shirley were asked to pose with three handsome male alpacas in the courtyard of the Manor. You can read more about these three 'pet' boys on Toft Alpaca Stud Posterous blog. The full shoot and 4 page article will appear in Warwickshire's Image magazine soon.
Harvey Spandangles, show stand adventure dog, has been telling us all about his new pad, however he was far too mucky after an adventurous walk this morning in the rain and mud to pose for a photo, so this one will suffice. Taken in the late summer he's modelling, rather superbly I think you'll agree, a pixie style hat. They've not quite taken off as successfully as dog-coats this year but it's only a matter of time apparently!
