Saffy and Jim under the trees The past week which has been the school half term has been glorious sunshine by day. The yurt camp has been full and our guests have been enjoying having barbecues, camp fires, sitting up late watching the stars and generally having the most wonderful weather for staying in a yurt or shepherd's hut. When other parts of the country have been having rain and storms, South Devon has been sweltering! The buttercups are blooming and the fields are looking virtually yellow all over. Buttercups are one of those plants which look amazing but don't do the land any good, we try to keep our fields free from pesticides and weed killers but its very tempting when the buttercups have appeared to be so overwhelming this spring. Buttercups can be poisonous to horses but they usually choose not to eat them as they are unpalatable. Some of our recent guests have been enjoying the best of Devon fare at the Occombe Beer and Cyder festival which is held locally about 6 miles from the yurt camp near Marldon. If this glorious weather continues we will probably have a hose pipe ban soon!
