end of term already!

This half term has flown by....i can't believe we had our last day yesterday with the students for the next five weeks or so...although we will be doing summer activities during the holidays for school age children (look on the website for details)

We have had an awful month losing two lambs to pneumonia, and one ewe to a twisted gut - i think it's the weather...so much rain and not enough sun - until this last week or so


We have another bantam hatch 6 hens (she was sitting squashed down between one of the raised beds in the poly tunnel) and we have one sitting on eggs in the middle of the straw stack in the yard!

The lambs look fantastic - and we will be weaning them next month hopefully.  we sent off two of last year's lambs last week - they will be delicious mutton as they are over a year old now

We have our end of term lunch next week, where we give out certificates to all the students.  Sadly we say good bye to 3 of them this term, but will be welcoming 3 new students in September.

Sandy is looking forward to her 6 piglets being 'weaned' next week - she is getting a bit fed up with them eating her food!  They look great and weigh in at around 14 kilos each.....

We have started selling our veg boxes this week - beetroot, chard, potatoes & salad bags with fresh herbs
