We were back at the farm this evening for more lifting and shifting and log chopping and burning!

We moved lots of pallets and gates from the top of the farm to the bottom and then chopped lots of wood to be burnt down and turned into ash to help the crops.

We had lots of fantastic new faces getting stuck in and helping out, it's always nice to see new people!

We kept ourselves nice and warm around the fire too!

Unfortunately not all of the photos will upload 🙁 but here are the ones which will!

Tonight we were tasked with helping to tidy up the supplies in the fund raising section of the loft and creating an inventory for raffle prizes/donations. First of all we had to divide into Spreadsheeters and Non-spreadsheeters! Those with IT skills set to work listing the inventory while those with a bit less IT skills begun sorting through the stationary and craft supplies. We think we came up with some logical yet novel categories. Everyone will know where to go now to find "Pegs + sticks" and "Feathers + Pom Poms + foam"! We look forward to planning our Rose Road session for next month where we will have finally made it back to lighter evenings!

This evening was a baby slug hunt! Teeny tiny sluggies... hopefully catching them now will reduce the damage they do as adults. Abby shared her slug knowledge ans was able to name the different species, very impressive.

We also welcomed Joana, her first task was possibly the slimeiest!

Great work team, not easy in the cold 😊

It was Blue Monday but we were all in high spirits for Ellie’s birthday celebrations and our THREE new joiners. A big welcome to Shannon, Jess and Lauren!

Dani had a short list of outside tasks which we were grateful for with the rain!

We started off moving some flooring which was much heavier than it looked and then we moved onto moving the compost heap (mostly poo) to the back of the pen! Everyone took a turn forking and Ellie was self appointed compost queen on the top of the pile. We took a break after our hard work with some time feeding the goats and sheep and meetings all the inside animals. Then a quick birthday cake celebration after the task with the most delicious vegan Victoria sponge!
