Middle Coombe Farm is well named.  Coombe, meaning a hollow in a hillside, has seen some little fairy like structures appear. So, if you keep your eye keen as you’re walking that way, you may well see out of the corner of your eye a fairy folk go scurrying by.

Richard Yabsley, our woodcutter, and Sam Ellis, a chainsaw pirate, have been working hard in the woods;  During the winter whilst thinning the trees, Richard would come also use his chainsaw to re-create the tree stumps into the various sized carvings that now appear in the clearings on the walk up to the ‘Oak Tree’.

The craftsman at large for the creations around the oak tree is:  Sam Ellis – bikersam666@hotmail.com is looking to set up a website, so watch this space for more details.

Spring has sprung with it’s assorted weather, and with it come the weddings.  we’ve just had our first couple of weddings of the season.  The most recent one with 16+ children were well cared for by the on site babysitting service. General feedback from guests “It is the best wedding I have ever been at”!!
