I'm back on the farm
after a spell away for treatment in an oxfordshire hospital :-|.
Colin Horlock is feeding
the kites, and there are a huge number of these birds to feed at this time of
year!
The meat supply has been
a lagging behind our needs this autumn, but I've now been assured that the problems are resolved and that we will have the opportunity to buy a far greater amount
from this coming Monday and onwards.

Back in August an elderly
lady was taken ill while down at the hides. The air ambulance was called in and
landed close to the kite feeding hides.
The donkeys were over interested
in the flying machine and had to be dissuaded from pulling cables etc. from the
helicopter.
The helicopter took off
with its passenger strapped inside and left us at great speed (Hereford is 45
miles, and arrival was expected in 20 minutes!).
We’ve since learned that the
lady recovered well and was discharged a day or so later.

Plans are going ahead with our new Cafe. We are aiming to open for March 2014, just a few months to finalise things and get everything in place.
