FARM WALK
Following the hottest day of the year members of HGK gathered at Warkleigh Barton hoping for a fun filled afternoon of walking, walling, cakes and cows.
However, the day turned out to be the wettest day of the year so far but, nothing could deter the die hard home ed group of North Devon.
Amidst thunder bolts, fork lightening strikes and torrential rain one by one they faithfully turned out donned in wellies and raincoats.
After a cup of hot tea to warm the cockles and a belly full of cakes and cream the less fainthearted set out on a short walk.
Examples of traditional steeping, stonewalling and ditching were shown for those who could see through the rain drops dripping from their eyelashes! on return to the barn hot tea and cakes all round before a trip over to the parlour to see the cows beng milked. Not the day we had hoped for weather wise nevertheless, a most memorable day!

Thankyou to the Thorne families for all their hard work with the farm visit which raised £31. The walk was informative despite being conducted in rather heavy rain and the milking parlour and calves were an unforgettable experience.
