Emily Cat



Emily is a friendly cat who adopted us eighteen months ago. By her size I would say she has two homes! I don't think she likes large rodents!

We have now lost three ducks, which seems ironic in a week when we hear that someone in politics claimed for a duck island to protect their ducks from predators. Wish we had one...and a lake to put it on!

duck's luck

One of the ducks has been killed by rats. Not only that, but someone on a neighbouring allotment has found a pile of hen's eggshells in the lane with tiny teethmarks on them! It was known many years ago that there is an old rat-run down this road and a relative's hens were killed by them. So we are busy reinforcing the pens where possible.

planting out


One family of volunteers have been planting out lots of seedlings We also have plants for sale now.
We had a break-in last week but they can't stop the Spring from growing!
A sick duck had to be taken to the vet, but after some TLC and medicine in someone's home she is recovering fast.
