With the weather being a bit dreary over the last week we've made the newborn lambs as cosy as possible by laying down lots of straw for them to snuggle into.

The pigs on the other hand are loving this wet weather and are quite literally as happy as pigs in mud!



 

We got a bit carried away at Carmarthen Market last week. 

We intended to bring home just 8 eight pigs but now have 17 running round!

  

The day of the auction was rather eventful in itself with two piglets making a dash for it! 45 minutes later and after a lot of running around, they were safely secured in our trailer ready to bring home.

They’re settling in really nicely here at Sutton Mawr, and we look forward to keeping you updated on their progress.

Spring is here!

 

After all the rain this winter it has been beautiful to see the lambs frolicking in the field. We had another strong lamb born last week! Hopefully the start of a good season with better weather than last year!

 

That's one proud Mummy!

I went out to put the animals to bed, and noticed one of the ewes was missing. I rushed down to the far field to discover she had 2 beautiful lambs..

I had to carry them both up to the lambing shed, where I put up the heat lamp and left them to bond.  Tomorrow I will let them out to join their aunties!

Its been a cold start...

Everything looks lovely in the snow

Luckly we have been closed for the winter. I don't think our guests would of enjoyed staying in Gyspy Rose!

All the animals are safe and warm..

This year we have masses of Robins, I think they like the chicken food!

We have had a lovely wedding party staying with us this weekend.

We were able lay all the tables outside in the courtyard and enjoy the sunshine.

Followed by Chocolate Mouse topped with Cream and Salted Hazelnut Praline and Lemon and Raspberry pots with Almond Shortbreads
