After the flurry of planting activity in the autumn the farm is now in resting mode. The wheat crops are established and green across the fields, having evaded the foraging of rook and slug.

"When Jay and I first started looking at locations to host our joint 40th birthday party we were struck by the fact that we had to find a property that could accommodate at least 30 adults and quite a number of very young children. Most of the places we looked at were either too big, too small, too expensive or too remote. We spent many hours searching the internet when Jay stumbled on Eaton Manor.
