Cuddly Pigs "Roll over"



These are some of our 10 week old Pedigree Welsh pigs that just LOVE cuddles. One in particular loves to roll over so you can tickle her tummy... so CUTE!

Pork Lasagne anyone?



Tonight we are trying Lasagne made with pork mince... It's cooking in the oven as I type and smells delicious! I'll let you know how it turns out.

First fleece from Lleyns



The Lleyn sheep are now shawn and we've got some fantastic fleeces from them. We've washed and dried some... wow they were heavy when they're wet!


A friend gave me some of her black fleeces from her Jacob's last year. We washed them, dried them and stuffed the sofa with them.


We can rest easy now knowing that the girls have been shawn so we keep a close eye on them ready for 'fly strike' season... or maybe not in the current climate!

Mean old Mr Fox




Today is a sad day at Ty Siriol. We have lost two beautiful ducks to mean old Mr Fox. He savagely took one of our young Khaki Campbell's and 'Mavis' our 11year old duck that was still laying, even at her age.

Our boys are devastated and so am I. Mavis was one of 6 ducklings that hatched here at Ty Siriol to my first ever duck, Milly 11 years ago. I know it's the season for this to happen, and that Mr Fox has to eat and feed the young cubs but I still... it's very sad.
