April is my favourite time of year for a walk in the ancient woodland at Smallicombe Farm, the captivating sight of a “carpet of blue” as the bluebells spring into life. This phrase aptly describes the breathtaking scene that unfolds when bluebells bloom en masse, transforming woodland floors into a sea of vibrant blue.
How exciting. Smallicombe Farm has teamed up with Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, River Cottage, Michael Cain, Pig at the Coombe, Darts Farm and Ebb Tides. We are running a ‘Farm to Fork’ and ‘Pig Keeping’ course during the 16 day Taste of East Devon Festival from 9th to 24th September.
We’ve just spent a glorious afternoon on a mackerel fishing trip from Beer followed by mackerel, chips and a cold beer on the beach.
On Sunday Megan, Hattie and I spent a fantastic afternoon on a ‘Rock Adventure’ at Hound Tor, Dartmoor, with Baz and Georgia from Crag 2 Mountain.
The Bear Trail is in Cullompton and is approximately 20 minutes from Smallicombe Farm and is an outdoor adventure trail with lots of optional mud.
