Barwhillanty Blog… baa blaa baa!!

The season of the lambs is well and truly here and don’t we know it… Acacia has just turned one and it turns out her first word is “baa’! So not only are we surrounded by fields of “baa”-ing lambs, but we have a “baa”-ing lamb of our own!

With lovely long days upon us and regular glimpses of sunshine warming us, my practice of ‘Raw and Wild’ yoga is underway. From daffodil downdog to tree pose under the magnolia blossom, you can follow my Instagram diary under ‘maria_raw_and_wild’.

Since Oscar is out lambing all day, Acacia and I are having plenty of outdoor play. Our vegetable garden has now doubled in size as the second two raised beds have just been built – thanks to Gordon, our forester and Steve, our gardener. We are planning our plethora of produce to tickle your taste buds when you come to stay in our holiday cottages. Our second holiday cottage is coming along – due for its grand launch later this summer. We are fortunate enough to have the artwork of incredible local talent, Anna Wright, on display in Blairinnie, our new holiday home. Her illustrations are delightful and we are very proud to be supporting her in Dumfries and Galloway, where she grew up. Check out her array of wondrous work at http://www.annawright.co.uk

So plan your rural getaway soon and surround yourselves with the “baa”-ing lambs of Barwhillanty… our next baby is due to arrive in early September, so even more “baa”-ing by next spring!
