Half Term Farm Fun - 08/02/2012
First blog of 2012! Well hello there folks. It’s a wee bit nippy today but the sun is shining – let hope we have a blue sky half-term. We have just had our first 2 lambs arrive at the farm – FAB-EWE-LOUS! Children will be able to feed them over Half-Term – SHEEP-A-DUPA! We also have 4 chicks already – so chick handling will be on every day too. Why not tweet ewer-selves to some farmery fun over this Feb half-term? Remember it’s just £3 each to visit the farm until 1st March – so make hay while the sun shines. Just to catch up on things since the last blog – we had a super Christmas here at the farm. Santa lived here for over a month and lots of children came to see him. He is now living safely back in Lapland until December. He took off on Christmas Eve and we have not seen him since. We have some super new volunteers at the farm – Farmer Sam has being showing them the ropes and a few of them have taken to farming like ducks to water. The ponies have started to lose their winter coats – a sure sign of spring! ‘Eric’ (our Jersey Calf) and ‘Oscar’ (our Anglo-Nubian goat) are getting along really well in a new pen together. Eric seems to really love Oscar and they have become inseparable over the past month. They can’t wait to get out in the paddocks this spring and start causing some real mischief. ‘The Wizard’ has arrived for spring again. The African Pygmy Billy Goat! He hails from The Lake District. After such a lovely tribe of kids last year – we wanted ‘The Wizard’ back again. He loves the ladies and as he is pretty and compact himself, we should get beautiful, petite off-spring again this year. Fingers crossed for the Wizard and his Magic Wand!
'Pedro' the Eagle owl has become quite a chatty one - and he loves having a good old beak wag with one of our more chatty volunteers Layla! Roll-on SPRING – so the animals can kick their heels and let down their hair in the paddocks very soon! See ewe all soon – Farmer Parr.
