Ari came to me, sat on my lap and chatted this morning for ages. He turned to face me at one point and was looking at me as if he was taking in every line, ever freckle, every hair. He gazed into my eyes as he spoke and was being very sweet.
In a moment he held my gaze and all of a sudden connected with something that lit him up and said,
'I can see me in your eyes. Can you see you in my eyes?'
I could and just sat in the wonder with Ari for a bit and felt blessed.

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.

Each week on a Wednesday, Thursday or Friday, a group of five young friends meet and are allowed the freedom to create their own day of imaginative play, adventure and time with mother nature in a very organic way. Come and share in our journey...

About Me

Play is ...
“... a gift of Creation, not an artefact of culture; it’s a sharing of two gifts: you’re lovable and there is nothing to be afraid of; it’s a relationship of kindness and belonging that is in Nature and in our nature; characterised by love, kindness, touch, wonder, joy. It is belonging to and being in touch with a world that is in touch with us. Play is more meaningful and more life-sustaining than contesting.’
O. Fred Donaldson.
