March 3rd - One thing it has been nice to see of late is the new house at Highfield, south of Chasewater. Once an active farm, the site fell into decline and most of the original farm was demolished. Permission was applied for a replacement house several years ago and has now been build, and itโs a handsome, four-square place. I wish the new residents well.
In the field nest door, the coos remain as nosy and inscrutable as cows always are. Iโm not sure if theyโre connected with the house, or just there to manage the heath nearby, but they are lovely. They donโt seem to mind the cold.
