Autumn down the List

Lucy-dog is sniffing the air for rabbits...


...she isn't interested in the glorious Autumn view down the field we call the List

...neither is Gipsy, who's just sniffing for anything.

DUCKS and DRAKES to the rescue.
Our pond was covered with a green weed for much of the summer - even though it's fed by spring water.
Throwing in a bale of barley straw was an option to get rid of the weed 'blanket'
Then a flotilla of more than 20 ducks turned up from the village lodge.
They dived in.
And tucked in.
It took them a couple of weeks to eat it all.
Thank you ducks... and drakes.

GOING...

GONE...

We are on the hillside that looks across Sabden Valley, to Pendle Hill, famous for the Lancashire Witches.

We are very rural but close to the motorway, rail and airport network, so handy for holiday or business visitors.

You can find out more about Cobden Farm Bed and Breakfast by going to our website at: www.cobdenfarm.co.uk

Breakfast is served in the conservatory overlooking our wildlife pond and across Sabden Valley to the lower end of Pendle Hill.

Both en-suite rooms look out onto fields where our sheep graze. They have been known to graze in our garden. But that's another story.

Babies and children are most welcome - we have available a travel cot, a fold-up bed, highchair, baby walker as well as toys to entertain them.

And there are freshly made scones with butter and jam waiting for you in your room when you arrive.

Well-behaved dogs are also welcome. And we have 'guest' packs for them.
