It was a lovely day today so I decided to go for a walk round the estate at lunchtime. It's been quite a time since I did this and the gardens and grounds are ever changing both manually and naturally.

The new cattle grid has been installed at the entrance and the hardcore for the new realigned road into our grounds has just been completed and will be tarred within the next two weeks, the grass seed on the lawned areas is showing through and the infrastructure works for the next phase of our development is coming to an end.

Elsewhere Autumn is rapidly advancing and colours are begining to turn. The staff and students are busy in the gardens and the green houses harvesting the last of the vegetables and fruits, raking the leaves, and generally tidying up before winter sets in.

The new house is fast becoming a 'home'. Everyone has settled in quickly and without issue.

All is well with the world.
