location!

are looking great and thoroughly enjoying being back on the Bank field. Lambing is due to start second week of March
Hens
& Ducks!
The Hens
and ducks are finally laying again ….although the ducks are a bit sporadic
…think it’s the dreaded weather!
Vegs /
Salads
We are
potting up / planting out as much as we can in portable pots/troughs so that we
can just move them across later on to plant out in the raised beds.
We have a
few salads now, and a few vegs but should have more by March.
Visitors!
We were
lucky to have a visit from Sir Geoffrey Clifton-Brown, just before
Christmas. He came to visit when Paternoster
School were here, and was very impressed with our set up – it helped that we
had fantastic feedback from the teacher!
Today we were honoured to have the High Sheriff visiting – Charles
Martell! It was lovely to show him round
with the students, and talk about all the animals here. We took him over to show him our new location
and it was quite magical….no wind, beautiful sunshine and so tranquil – cant
wait till we are actually open up and running later in the year.
