The family arrive.

As Christmas nears all the family have started to arrive in Cornwall. Matthew, Lauren and Chris have arrived from Essex.They are staying at the farm. My sister and her family, seven of them have arrived from Gloustershire and Devonshire. They are staying at Mum and Dad`s. We are having two Christmas dinners one in each house but we will be meeting up during the day for present opening and an odd drink or two. Of course all the animals have got to be checked and fed before the festivities can begin. We try to get as much food prepared on Christmas eve as possible. Then it`s just a matter of tipping the bags of grain and dropping in the big silage bales. Hopefully the first lamb will wait till New Years day, I have a feeling that it will be earlier though.
