Spring has finally arrived on the farm
Our second Easter lockdown has arrived, but the first one for us as new owners. It seems so strange observing Spring awakening the farm without any guests. Despite this we wish you all a very Happy Easter.
New Spring Lambs on the farm
We have had three baby lambs born so far this year. Twin boys and a girl and we hope to be blessed with a few more over the upcoming weeks, expectantly in time for our first set of guests on 12th April. Spring on a farm is not the same without lambs bouncing around and enjoying their freedom out in the fields.
Games Room Refurbishment is complete
The games room refurbishment has finally finished and we are very proud of the result. The room has been gutted and opened up to make full use of all of the available space. It is now a multi-use area. We have created a reading area, and play area for Under 5’s. As well as a pool, table tennis, air hockey and table football for our older children (and competitive parents)!! We can’t wait for our guests to be able to use this excellent addition to the farm.
Site Tidy Up
The site is starting to look ready for the Spring weather and welcoming our guests in April. Due to the latest Covid19 restrictions, our shared areas will not be able to be used at present. However, we have tried to not let this get us down. So have been working hard to set a new ‘Wildlife Trail’ around the farm. We have also revamped ‘Wellie Walk’ for our younger guests who may not have quite the same stamina which is required for the Wildlife Trail. In the shop, we will be selling Wellies for you to decorate and leave on the Wellie walk. A great activity on a rainy day. We have spent a long time upkeeping our lodges, painting decking, railings and fencing, as well as tidying up the grounds to ensure the outdoors at Coombe looks as it should.
Rambo and Snowy’s new home on the farm
As Spring has finally arrived at the farm, this means our Ram can no longer be in the same field as our pregnant ewes. Lots of fun was had trying to catch our big Ram ‘Rambo’. Despite being P.E teachers, he ran circles around us initially whilst we tried to catch him, jumping over rocks and showing us his superior agility skills while we failed to get hold of him. Eventually, the shepherds crook had to come out and we managed to usher him and his girlfriend ‘Snowy’ into the trailer and drive them around to the other side of the farm. We hope our guests will now feel even more Spring-like now that they can see Rambo and Snowy from their lodges
