We had a very busy weekend at the farm.  Moorhen has given birth to a black bull calf.  We are going to call him Mutley Moses or Spooks. They are both doing really well

Rosie had puppies on friday night. She had 6 in all 2 girls and 4 boys. She had them in Polly's bedroom. Polly was a brilliant vet with the assistance of her elder sister Alice. Unfortunately, the first one was still born. Then we lost the smallest black one, the next day, and last night a third one died. The 3 which are still alive are doing really well and we have one girl and two boys left. They are mostly white with small black and brown spots.  Rosie is being a brilliant mum.  Experts do say that jack russells have very small litters. So it possible that Rosie can only feed three successifully.  Rosie is very protective so photos are not easy. I will put loads on the blog when I can.

We have lived in Barry for 14 years and have never been to the Barry Island firework display. Well we did on Saturday night with Polly and 6 friends and it was tremendous. Must of been 7 thousand people all on the prom and down on the beach.  The night was ideal for fireworks and we were not disappointed. Really good display, everybody was on great form and brilliant atmosphere.  Well done everyone involved, which was mainly the Barry Rotary Club.. We will be there every year from now on!
