This week Hen Corner celebrated it’s 12th birthday!
Well, it’s a bit tricky to decide exactly when our way of life was birthed, so the date in the diary is the anniversary of our first blog post when we had given a name to our journey and had begun to share our story.
A spring day bathed in sunshine is the promise of the summer to come. March is ‘The Month of Expectations’ and we’ve certainly got loads to look forward to. With…
Whilst the days are definitely getting longer and we can start to feel that pull to get out into the fresh air, until the clocks go forward next month, let’s maximise the opportunities of the weekends when we can leave our work worries behind and see signs of new life springing up all around.
Regular readers and subscribers will know that I see Christmas and New Year as an apex allowing me to take time to look back with thankfulness and look forward with hope.
To all our subscribers, course guests, customers and visitors,
Thank you for your support and encouragement throughout 2021, we look back with thankfulness and look forward with hope
With every blessing for a Peaceful Christmas and a Happy New Year
From Sara and all at Hen Corner
‘A Time For Giving’ – Yes, I have got Cliff Richard singing in my head…
As we approach the end of the year, it’s a great opportunity to take stock, give thanks and plan to give gifts to both those we hold dear and those less fortunate than ourselves.
As the clocks fall forward, the evenings draw in and we chop wood in preparation for cosy nights in front of the fire, I’m sure I’m not the only one that’s wondering what the next couple of months will bring and how we can hold on to traditions as we continue to navigate current challenges.
Swimming and Sourdough? That’s an unusual combination, but that’s what’s been filling my time this month. September is always busy as it’s harvest time, but this year as well as celebrating Sourdough September, we’ve also celebrated my First Swimversary!
This month we are celebrating our super Brentford bees, now where should we begin? We started keeping bees 10 years ago, with our very first colony collected, on loan, in August 2011. ‘How can you borrow a colony of bees?’ I hear you say…
You know that we love to produce our own food and can’t wait to get busy preserving fruit and vegetables when in season, allowing us to enjoy them all year round. We’ve harvested all our broad beans, many of which are now in the freezer and have just finished the first batch of broad bean & mint hummus – delicious!
