We have had a bonkers and busy year like most people I guess.. We seem to have crammed such a lot in , again , so much for the slower pace of life !

Ooh the chilly months !

Starting with

November the big wet soggy kiss..

Rain didn’t stop the new branding or the final touches to the cottages our final mission for the last part of 2020 . Stronger colour logo artwork was needed to make our brand stand out a little more.

They won 3 times it seems but now I need to empty my thoughts out online sorry .

December

December whizzed by us at a speed close to that, of a pig after apples ! And before we knew it we had the Christmas trees up ( 4 in total )SANTAS 1.jpg staircase , hallway and kitchen covered in pinery ( green finery) and baubles galore;

Threatening to dangle and glitter , like no one was watching ..

JANETTES HERDYS

 

 

Jobs less sparkly, were the collecting and delivering of sheep with  our new chum Janette,

MONICA

 

 

 

 

However there is always a sneaky cute job to do too like  giving the new baby calves their morning bottle feed..

Meet Monica the cutest calf EVER..

(Janette also now owns two of our Tamworths )
