We have had an amazing month so far, with fantastic guests coming to stay and two local shows (Okehampton and Chagford) with a stand promoting our produce.
We also have a new puppy ‘Midge’, a ‘Westie’ cross ‘Scottie’ terrier who is a complete nutter and has learnt to swim very quickly having fallen into a lake and the garden pond within the first two weeks!
Sadly, we lost one of our favourite sows ‘Molly’, who left us with 10 piglets to feed.
Fortunately, Simon loves this job and you often see him crossing the yard with some warm milk, to top up the Yorkshire pudding tray and other dishes which the piglets drink out of.
We have just weaned the lambs (off the ewes), so have had a few noisy nights but as we are so tired we tend not to notice!
