This week we had another lot of Open Days and we had a very special guest on Monday - no other than TWEEDY from Giffords Circus! He was brilliant - arriving with his iron in tow; dressed up and with a wonderful umbrella with bells hanging of it all playing a different tune! The students loved him and showed him all the animals. He even juggled with our hen's eggs whilst standing on the table in the garden!! (photo to follow)

Tidying for the Open Days! |
We had a group from The National Star College on Wednesday, and the students loved showing them round too.

Gerry starting to train one of our ewe lambs! |
We took 3 of our lambs off last week to the abattoir, and have pre-sold most of them, so we are taking another two tomorrow. All our lambs have done so well this year - the ewe lambs look fantastic. We are going to try and show a couple of them next year, so Gerry is going to try a rope halter on them on Monday! We continue to round them up each week, and put them through the 'race' as it means that some of our less able students can really get the feel of them.
