If you could spare an hour or two to help with the open day, we would be very grateful. Car-parking, welcoming visitors, serving refreshments, helping with children’s games. Please email Elaine at elaine@corke.biz

Wildflowers

The section of meadow behind the bonfire site has a spectacular display of wonderful flowers. Three sorts of orchid, Yellow-wort, Yellow Rattle, Oxeye Daisy, Grass Vetching, Selfheal and ever so many more.

Work Parties

The next work party at Noakes Grove will be on:

Sunday 21st July

Come any time after 10am and before 3pm.

Lambs

The lambs are now 4 weeks old and nibbling grass along with the adults. There are seven of them at Noakes Grove. The other six are down the road in a friendly but private field. We have been lucky that all of them are strong and in fine fettle.

King's Field

Remus the ram and Aunty Amy (the barren ewe) are swanning about in the field on the road-side of the brook. The King’s Field work-parties did a splendid job of mowing this field and getting it suitable for grazing. Well done Peter, John B, David B and John H.
