The Mindful Farmers Daily Diary Day 159

Good morning everyone and welcome to Ballinwillin House Farm and gardens on day 54 of lock down. Well things have calmed somewhat from the madness and destruction of yesterday and we are working away clearing the debris and endeavour to open up once again. Sadly we have had to cancel our RetrEats and farm and garden visits until further notice and we will update you when we can open up again. I would like to thank the team at Ballinwillin for their trojan work yesterday and their kindness and support when my heart was so tender and vulnerable but now we must march on again and look out to the future even though many of my trees at Ballinwillin are gone have rich and beautiful memories of them and many beautiful photos of them and I stop and stare for a moment and I think what a huge part they have played over 300 years and their contribution to nature and our environment. For a while this morning I quietly celebrated their life and the best of life is always further on but their memories will always remain behind The Hills of Time. In November we will plan anew. Continue to pray, bless and send healing to each other and be careful out there and wear your lovely smile.
