Welcome ...
This blog has been created to allow family and friends to share in and become part of the experience of 'Down at the Farm'.
Enjoy the children, their love for each other and their open hearted wonder and excitement.
Over time you will get to know the farm through their eyes and will see how they spend their day with each other in a very rich, organic way.
Each vignette is a snapshot in time. Follow from one to another, then on to more and you can share in our unfoldment and journey.
Enjoy your visit ...

Walking backwards ...

A walk to the stables at the start of the day was the plan... On the way, we found ourselves playing hide and seek in the flower garden for quite some time. The laughter in each of the kids was enough to make anyone burst with joy, so happy with such simplicity. We ran, we hid we found one another and we laughed! My heart was filled with happiness and feeling how grateful I am to spend time with these five children each week.

We then finally made our way down to the stables and spent some time in there out of the rain. Danella’s group joined us and we all played together in our houses (each stall) ... making cakes and visiting each other. It’s good for our gang to all have another five children to interact with and get to know!

The next moment was quite a mighty effort and very funny to watch. We left the stables and headed up to the barn to have a picnic. Frieda started walking through the flower garden backwards and Mac was watching with intrigue.  He decided to do it too. Well this took a mighty long time but they both, with their little legs, walked the whole way backwards, Mac sometimes getting a bit confused and taking a couple of steps forward till he realised and he’d laugh at himself and start walking backwards again. It was so very cute and funny to witness.



Beautiful moments were definitely had throughout the day. I will share these moments in the slide show below ...
