We have been really busy over Easter. We visited Martin House Hospice for their sibling day, the theme was their 25th birthday so we dressed up looking like we were going to a party.

Then we visited 2 inner city Leeds nurseries, the children and adults were thrilled, particularly with Zoom, our continental giant rabbit.

Ryedale Special Families from Malton braved the snow, they spent a fun and action packed day with us.

Katie enjoyed her 7th birthday here.

Several individual families visited during the 2 weeks holiday.

We were made to feel very welcome when we visited Sycamore Care Home in Ripon.

Tracey Oliver from York organised an Easter Party here, primarily for the families of Martin House Hospice and Hob Moor Oak Special School. It was very well attended and so a huge thank you to Tracey and her family and friends. Also thanks to Caroline, Music Therapist from Martin House, who saved the day when the heavens opened! by playing her guitar.

Madeline came to see us, with Age UK, she was 100 on the 5th April, our oldest visitor, what amazing lady.

We are delighted that 2 of our volunteers have been chosen to run with the Olympic Torch.

Caroline Houseman and Jim Moulton are both running on 19th June 2012 in Knaresborough.

We are so proud of them and we will be there on the day cheering them on.

Forest School visited us recently, we all had a great time.

One of the students particulary liked Zoom one of our giant continental rabbits, photo attached.

Alfie enjoyed another visit to the farm, he particularly likes feeding the hens and ducks. He was amazed by our new giant rabbits in their rabbit stroller.

Today we have been at Askham Bryan College Dressage Event, the equine students are raising money for Nuzzlets as part of their course.

See photos of us in the gallery in the indoor school and some of the students with some of our animals.

Saturday 4th February

Les & Dorrie Thorpe from Varazdin Stud, top breeders of continental giant rabbits, have kindly donated Merlin, a beautiful 10 month old giant rabbit born 3rd April 2011. He is delightful and very friendly.

Please see below 2 photos of Les with his largest rabbit weighing 31 lbs and Merlin with Mary.

We have taken in 2 more female rabbits who have been together since they were young so are good friends.

 

We have given a home to 3 eldery ducks.
