A Cardoon in the gravel border feeding a tiny bee



The ripening apples in our tiny orchard


The shadows under the Olive trees behind the italian garden

Oliver Cat - official reception and Farmhouse Cat enjoying basking in the sunshine



with Wilbur, official invisible moggie, discreetly adopting a less prominent position in the herb garden
All is well at Ednovean Farm!
