has Spring sprung?

Crocus & BumbleBee

We’ve just had a lovely Spring weekend down her in West Wales, the warmest of the year by far.

The first Celandines are now in flower around the edges of our fields, primroses by the house will be full flower tomorrow.

A bumblebee flew lazily by on Saturday (and then back again on Sunday) and for the first time this year we had bats back flying around the yard Sunday evening.

Our ‘senior’ horse Jeremy went out without his coat on and all the goats were enjoying lying around in the sun in the yard.

We’ll stay away from mentioning the rugby on Sunday – apart from that all seems well here, and we will hope it is with you too.

Our barn full of animals = lovely

Tara & Nyma

It’s blowing a gale here today, as it is elsewhere in the country.  Lovely to see all of the outside animals in the barn together – sheep, goats, Aunt Dotty the cow and the horses.

Particularly nice to see the 2 new ponies Tara and Nyma – who came to us from the Vegan run Happy Endings Sanctuary earlier this year and who were very scardy girls – joining in.

They had spent a lifetime living outside and being neglected and are now enjoying some of the luxuries in life they never had before Happy Endings saved them.
