The weather just gets better and better. I hope this isn't our summer!

Hollie Thomas is staying at Sutton Mawr this week with her family and friends. They are having a lovely time. Today they went to the beach on Barry Island, and came back to finish the day off in the courtyard having a BBQ.

We had a guest from Shanghai in China, his name was  Zheng Ji Wen. He loved the farm and has promised to return with his family..

 We also had two beautiful lambs. She delivered them first thing this morning, right down at the bottom of the field. .

They are now laying on the grass enjoying this amazing weather

Today, we were moving pigs. The Lyon family were staying at Sutton Mawr for a few day so, I recruited a few helper Tommy, Scott and Ian. We started at 10am......

                                                                   It did not start well!

                                                              We nearly got them all in...

                                                         We got two in, but there is always one!

                                                   She found some new friends with the cows

                                             Tommy was on the case, but the pig had other ideas!!

Three hours later we got them all in....

Meanwhile, the Aldhaheri family were collecting the eggs...

Spring is here. What a fantastic day and they say it's going to last for over a week!

The daffodils are out in force, and they will be closely followed by the tulips in the courtyard.

It's time to wipe the dust of the BBQ!

The boys did brilliantly! Well done Wales. We all feel really proud this morning. Our French guests were all pretty cheery, they loved Cardiff and the whole experience.

Some of our French guests decided on a farm tour to clear their heads...
