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!

We headed off on a very cold and icy night for a litter pick on our most can-filled alleyway. We had hoped there might be a bit less rubbish as an old building had been demolished and cleared, but clearly no one made a new year resolution not to drop litter! We didn’t quite make our previous record of 100 cans, but we think we were pretty close. Hopefully the next time we visit there might not be so many!

We can’t believe it but it’s already time to pack down Santa’s grotto! After spreading much joy it was alas time for Santa to return to the North Pole to get ready for the big day. Don’t worry though as he left an ample bunch of elves away to get things clean and tidy for new year. He even left his newest recruit behind so welcome to Yoyo. We hope to see you back again soon. Merry Christmas everyone!
