Spring is definitely here. Broad beans have been up for two weeks or so and the lambs are bounding around the field!
Farmer Jim has nearly finished the lambing and is well into the calving. When the weather has been dry enough to dry the ground, he will get the corn in and this will provide bedding and feed for the cattle next winter.
Since the last newsletter, we have experienced the depths of a Cornish winter and moved swiftly on to Spring!
In comparison to many parts of the country, Newquay does not often see snow. It last snowed in November 2005, but prior to that the last major snowfall was twenty years previously, when in January 1985, snow in St Mawgan was measured as being 12cm deep.
In case you were not around earlier this month, it snowed for little more than a day. As near as Bodmin, there was still snow after a week.
