This morning Denise Taylor and family arrived at Sutton Mawr for a family celebration, it was a double birthday.  They are all Gavin and Stacey fans so have come down to the Island for a bit of a fix!  They fell in love with the puppies.

We sliced up all the bacon, if I say so myself it looks fantastic. Will try it tonight.

Andrew  and Julie Walker arrived to pick up some sausages and parma ham.  We got talking about chickens and the problems he was experiencing with his broody hens.  The local farmer had suggested barb wire in the egg boxes which seemed abit extreme so I presuaded them to take some fertilized eggs for them to sit on.. Lets hope they have some chicks in 21 days.

 The Taylor family returned from Barry Island to a special birthday tea, outside in the courtyard.  They did a great job finishing off all the grub. They have now collapsed watching DVD in their bedroom!

We had a brillant surprise today. We were locking up all the animals and noticed a ewe was seperate from the flock and with closer inspection saw she had given birth to a lovely lamb.  We have named her Katie after Denise's mother who's birthday it is today..

Alex who is over from Moscow, arrived yesterday and informed me he played tennis. So this afternoon he suggested a game though he had not played for 2 years and had a wrist injury he still won the first 5 games, luckly I managed to win 2 in return. Can you image what would of happened if he was fully fit!  I am hoping for a rematch.
