This Monday we had the local 'Stroke Club' here for a visit! They had a lovely time; the weather was fantastic, and we managed to wheel them out to the field, where Helen told them all about the sheep, hens & ducks! We had some cakes left over from the Car Boot Sale (see update on that opposite) and so had a lovely long break in the sunshine! Gerry brought some of the chicks out to show everyone, and they got a chance to hold them if they wanted to - all in all a very successful morning.

The piglets are settling in really well, and Helen had a great time tickling them and sprinkling them with a watering can.....!
On Thursday i left Gerry in charge, as i had a rather important appointment with Her Majesty at Buckingham Palace.....we were invited to a Garden Party, along with 7,998 other people!! Mike and i had a lovely afternoon,with a delicious tea! We walked round some of the 40 acre garden (as much as my high heeled shoes would allow....!)

Meanwhile, while we were 'taking tea', Gerry and the students had a very busy day, fencing in the hens and ducks - finally we have proper posts and some brilliant fencing panels - all put together by our Thursday 'crew'. The posts were put in professionally with a huge tractor and post hole rammer - even so it was incredibly difficult as it is SO stony! Well done to all the students for working incredibly hard to get ready for our Open Days next week.
