But we’re assured it’s on its way and the bulbs certainly feel pretty confident about it.

Tree sparrows welcome at Troustrie’s new cosey Sparrow Hotel

They say that 7 am is the best part of the day!  Who can beat this view as you draw the curtains on another lovely day ahead.

Thousands of pink footed geese are visiting Troustrie just now, escaping the bad weather further north.  A truly magical sight and sound during the winter months.

No tins here – just delicious organic Seville oranges and fairtrade sugar.  That should hopefully keep the store cupboard stocked for a a couple of months.
