May news

You just have to read to the end… to see our Chilly Season Special.
Well, someone who is not chilly is Mary, Little Lamb and Rambo – woolly coats are a great plus in this weather but not much fun during black jack season… they are looking more like overgrown hedgehogs!!
We are reliably informed by some of our guests that our pigs speak English (?) and the Emu’s are once again courting… we think.  I was going to say, onto the two legged news – but that would include the Emu’s and then you might consider me as featherbrained.

Jaco has departed for London town, and apart from getting lost once or twice seems to be enjoying himself and all things new and exciting. Michael joined us after the Easter weekend and his head has not stopped spinning with something new to learn each day!  (he now understands why there was no job description…). Jenny is off on three weeks leave and Angelique and Celvin have been considering this time last year, when Celvin was in hospital with a broken back.  Thankfully recovered well enough to have taken Cassidy and Sebastian on the bench walk yesterday – at 18 months, Sebastian made it all the way with only a few trip ups – we teach them young on the farm!
After many years of deliberation, 100 Hellebores and 100 Peonie bulbs were purchased for the gardens.  It has been a slow but exciting procedure to get everything in the ground – along with the 1000 or so seedlings... (roll on Spring!) The only miscue was having one of my three gardeners on leave and the other having heart surgery, needless to say, I have spent a fair bit of time on my knees lately… (I shall stand in line next time Ponty gets a pedicure).
Ok, so you have waited long enough – herewith our…
