We started back on Monday to beautiful sunshine - it's been a lovely two weeks. We've had a busy time over the holidays keeping up with everything - the rain had made the site look a bit like it did back in year one before we cleared it! But, luckily the 29th Regt RLC came to the rescue again - they arrived armed with strimmers on Monday afternoon, and set to work, strimming, weeding burning and killing again (no animals only vegetation!)
Unfortunately our quail didn't last the holidays - a rat had got into their house somehow, and managed to kill the remaining three overnight. We will have to think of a better strategy for keeping our next lot. They were laying really well too....never mind it's all a learning curve!
Great excitement, we are getting our next lot of weaners on Monday. They are 'Berkshire's' this time (photo to follow) and we are getting 4. The Rotary Club Chairman, Chris Tovey and his wife, came out yesterday to give us our first cheque. We are putting this towards the Weaners, as they especially asked if they could buy the next lot.

We have our 'roof extension' at last - no one noticed at first, but it will be great when it starts raining again - no more dashing to the toilets!
