Suffolk smallholding for sale

This is where we are now and this is where we are going...
We have finally won planning permission after going to appeal to build a new Eco home on our farmland at Clayhill Lavenham. So we need to sell Bungeons Farm to enable us to build.
Until then Bungeons life carries on we have a new heifer calf- Angus x blonde d'aquitaine and another due soon. It is still very wet 49.5mm in September, 491mm  year total at end of Sept.
It is the time to make chutney, empty compost bins, deal with the previous years leaf mulch, and put the garden to bed for the winter.

Bungeons Farm Beeswax hand cream

I have finally got round to making some more hand cream. It is a great barrier cream as well as helping to heal  the inevitable nicks and knocks.
The hand cream is made from an infusion of marigold and lavender in oil, beeswax from our bees , and a small amount of honey.
The beeswax is either the the lovely white light bridge comb collected in the spring or the cappings saved  while extracting and put through my prototype small solar extractor (another use for a washing machine glass door)
The different oils and waxes give each batch of cream a different feel and purpose.
