July is a wonderful month in Devon, the fields are full of a multitude of wild flowers, including clover and buttercups, pictured above in our meadow. The lake field at Hemsford is left to grow long during the summer months with some pathways through to the other fields strategically mown to allow easy access from the farmhouse. The meadow is a haven for wildlife with many different species of butterfly, bees, grasshoppers, flies, dragonflies and damselflies, even the odd grass snake living in harmony alongside the yurt camp. This week we have welcomed back guests from as far away as Japan - its always lovely when guests return as it is a real compliment for us. The evenings have been clear and the skies dark and starlit. Its been very warm for the past few days with the chance of thunderstorms over the next couple of days. It certainly is thrilling to see the power of nature from inside a yurt. The school holidays are almost upon us soon but we still have some availability. There is something magical about sitting around a camp fire during the summer months toasting marshmallows listening to the owls and watching the bats at dusk. With more guests arriving this weekend from Spain the weather is set fair - lovely!
