Today we visited the chickens at Banff Castle it was very frosty today and some of the water containers were frozen we have had a few reports of rats recently we got a vermin control man in on Saturday to lay poison for the rats we hope to have no more sightings of our furry friends.The ground was very boggy during the storms but putting down hay seemed to make a real difference. Now that the weather is frosty the earth has frozen solid and the bog has vanished.Boyndie horticultural team have agreed to slab a small path for us so we are looking forward to this.
