This year was our busiest event yet! With over 1,000 people attending we certainly had a lot of fun raising a grand total of £5,500! A massive thank you to all those that came down and supported us on Sunday. We were absolutely delighted to see so many people making the journey down to see…
On Friday night, after dropping off the pony gorgeous George to his new home we got back thinking we might be able to go and catch some abandoned goats in Gunthorpe……………no chance!!! We got back to find a couple with a very poorly tawny owl on our doorstep. This little guy was found in the…
