The
students are back and very excited to be back in their routine.
We are
running our Dementia mornings every Tuesday for those living with dementia and
their carers, Students Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, and a small group
from Paternoster School on Fridays.
Pig News!
We have
taken delivery of ‘Reggie’ a very handsome Oxford Sandy & Black Boar who
has happily moved in with Tigger and Sandy for the next 6 weeks or so. We are aiming to have piglets arriving
towards the end of May over at the new site!
We are
hoping that one of our remaining boars will be off to Ireland to be part of a
breeding programme over there. The other
one will be going off for bacon & sausages for Easter.
Sheep
News!

| Hens not sure.....! |
Our ewes came
back for scanning the second week of Jan (ok scanning, but a few were ‘empty’,
and now they are on the bank again, where we are feeding them ready for lambing
at the start of March. Amazingly
‘Barren-ness Betty’ appears to be pregnant this time – having spent most of last
year with Barnaby the ram and nothing….!!(she was barren two years in a row)

Just before Christmas we had a visit from Sir Geoffrey Clifton-Brown! He had been trying to visit us for ages, but we couldn't find a time when we were here with students that fitted with his busy schedule. However, on Fridays now we have 5 children from Paternoster each week - so it was great to be able to show Sir Geoffrey what we do with them each week. I think he was impressed! We had great feed back from their teacher which helped!
