The weeks are flying by with lots of things happening 😬
Cows and calves are out in the grass fields enjoying the sunshine, only 2 cows left to calve then it’s over until next time. 🐄🐮
Spiderman the bull was also turned out with his ladies but unfortunately has a slight injury in his hip (from working so hard!) so he’s back in for a rest to recover for a few days before returning.
The ewes were grateful to be sheared last week✂️ just the right timing with this early heatwave 🥵 the fleeces are pretty much worthless but an essential job that needs doing annually.
We’ve attended a fire safety and marshalling course this week 🚒🧯every day is a school day as they say but it was an interesting day out.
I’ve also completed and passed my personal license holder courses and exam 📝💻
Lots of jobs going on in and around the shop, we’ve extended the car parking area to allow for more outside seating in the existing area. Toilets have arrived and are in the process of being installed. 🚽🚻
Indoor seating area is all but finished apart from some final decoration. 📸
The kitchen is fully wired and most appliances are in, just a couple of prep tables and tacking then we’re literally ready…….. 🧑🍳👨🍳
The Farmhouse kitchen will be opening later in June 🥳🍾🎊
