We had a real fun day on Bank Holiday Monday May 1st Star Wars day along with the fantastic Southern Troopers !! If you missed them don’t worry – they’ll be back in the summer and for our vintage classic day – just keep an eye on our website for details.

Did you get to see us at the Devon County Show? We were there with a few exhibits and quite a number of our animals too! The weather wasn’t too bad and we all had an enjoyable time meeting new people and explaining the many great reasons to pay a visit to The World Of Country Life.

Lots to do to get ready for next week arrr so must be off, looking forward to seeing you for the fun and games and like I said – if the lovely weather holds out you won’t shiver your timbers either !!

One more thing – did you see us on Salvage Hunters on the TV? We were on the show on Wednesday 24th May – season 10 episode 13 – which is available on Quest’s website on their On Demand service for the next 10 days!

Hi guys it’s your lean green dancing machine here, ‘Appy Angus, with my ‘Appy Angus Update!

Wow have we ever had a busy time !! Our busiest ever Mother’s Day and a lovely surprise for me – I was working and my mum turned up !! Lucky I bought her a card eh ?

Easter was busy too and over the four days of the holiday we had some extra fun activities with some great prizes and a fun mascot egg and spoon race with my friends Easter Bunny, Chicken Nik and Chalky the Owl from Hawkridge! I won the race but they disqualified me for cheating but no one told me I wasn’t allowed to stick the egg to my spoon with glue!

We’ve also had lots more babies up in the goat nursery too!

So what’s coming up next that might interest you? Let me think… Oh yeah I know, da da da da, da da da, da da. Star Wars Day!!! Bank Holiday Monday – May the first be with you! Southern Troopers – the famous cosplay group – will be here raising money for Children’s Hospice South West too!!!

See you at the lightsabre training!

Signing off for now, til next time,
