It's been a busy week for early morning rides and the horses have been real stars ❤️. Bella and Smudge looked like they wanted to ride too 🥰. Clive found an eagle owl feather on the ride this morning and we watched a young eagle sitting in the top of an oak tree, calling it's mum who was flying around above us. The naughty chickens have been at it again, I moved a bale of hay and found 12 eggs in a hole. The El Establo guests left and wrote us a lovely review in the guest book and on Google - really appreciated especially as people are not so likely to write reviews these days. I've got a lovely little self set carob tree growing in one of the plant pots, I will be planting that in the garden in the autumn. The lantana is finally in flower - so abundant on the coast but it really doesn't like our climate. The Budlea attracted a very pretty yellow butterfly, unfortunately I couldn't capture it on camera with its wings open but it was so bright. The date palm is in flower and the bees are loving it. Poor Clive had to rush out and buy a new water pump part for El Establo during the changeover yesterday so then spent an hour grovelling in the hot pump house fixing it. So lucky that he can do these jobs or life would be very difficult. I cleaned El Establo and the secret garden ready for new guests, photos just don't get across how beautiful and tranquil the secret garden is, it really is the perfect, peaceful hideaway. I had a little read in the rock pool once I'd finished my jobs
