		<title>January 2012</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This morning’s hard frost came as quite a surprise. The mild, damp weather of the last two months has lulled us into a sense of false security. No snow, no frozen water troughs or icy farmyard. No heaving of water buckets from the stream to quench the thirst of chilly livestock. No throbbing, freezy fingers, [...]]]></description>

		<title>PIGS AT LAST!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[December 2011 As I write, sitting warm and snug by the fire in the study, a tremendous gale is lashing South Devon. When the dogs and I set off for the farmyard in drizzle and semi-darkness this morning, the sky was slate grey and the air damp and misty. It never really got light all [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hashi!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Or perhaps, more importantly, sono hashi ni tuitara, wattatte shimae……or “ cross that bridge when you get to it………………” September went out on a high; a heat wave to remember, temperatures soaring into the eighties. People flocked to park and beach grasping the last vestige of summer as rumour spread of a freezing winter to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Slow roast pork</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ideally, if you have time, stuff a boned shoulder of pork with apples and celery, onion and breadcrumbs, sage and lemon, all bound together with soft butter and a beaten egg; salt and pepper of course. But if you’re in a hurry, on the way to work or taking the children to school, leave out [...]]]></description>

		<title>Vegetable Soup</title>
		<description><![CDATA[But first I need a warming Vegetable Soup for a quick lunch. There’s nothing as comforting as a big bowl of homemade soup when dogs and I have been blown home from the farmyard by a sharp south easterly. I choose the ingredients for soup according to the sort of stock I have in the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Summer Again</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Our little village among the trees, by the river&#8221; As Devon fills up once more with holiday makers we somehow remain untouched in our silent valley, the world passing us by. A few more cars hoot on the bend by the gate, voices and laughter occasionally waft across the hillside but mostly our silence is [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bread</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Lambs and ewes bask in the sunshine on top of the hill sheltered from the strong south westerly, a wind so strong this Sunday morning that it pushes me back as, scrambling up to the top of steep field, I stumble through the gate following the distressed cry of a lamb and the frantic baaing [...]]]></description>

		<title>Marmalade and Oranges</title>
		<description><![CDATA[December snow and ice have given way to frost followed by rain and our all too familiar Devon mud. An east wind cuts through the valley as we wait for lambing to begin. Stout ewes come into the yard for tea every evening now, supplementing sparse grass with malt shreds, oats and sweet smelling hayledge. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Arctic December</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Snow, ice, sleet, fog, gale force winds, rain, more heavy snow; only once in the mid 1980’s do I remember anything like this in South Devon. Thick snow, huge drifts and frozen pipes, and here we are again, a second year running, early frost followed by ice and snow and it’s only December. For nearly [...]]]></description>
