Camilla had a good show with Zappa, Stanzi and Blackberry. Blackberry is 5 and this was her first big outing. She behaved beautifully and coped with the bright fences very well. One of the highlights was Camilla jumping Zappa in her first 1.2m class. She was delighted with him. Zappa is looking wonderful and jumping with great confidence. We have some new members to our team, and they come in a form that you might not expect. Puttenham Place has been full of activity in other areas. In addition to our vegetables our apples have been as prolific as ever. This no doubt has something to do with our busy little bees, and after a family and friends picking session, for the first time we have had our apples juiced and bottled from a local press (Pasture Farm). We have also had a bumper crop of honey, so all in it has been an excellent summer of produce.
