As the golden glow of September settles over Carmarthenshire and the rolling foothills of Bannau Brycheiniog, the natural rhythm across our private grounds gently shifts. While stacking seasoned timber for the coming colder evenings, an unexpected visitor reminded us of the unhurried magic of rural retreat living: a vibrant Peacock butterfly, flourishing and basking in the quiet late-summer warmth on our timber rounds.
