Hello all,

We mentioned in our last email that we have a new address.  Please update
your address list with our new one as any emails sent to our old address
will no longer reach us as our account with our previous provider has now
ceased.

The weather appears to be warming up and another bank holiday is on the
horizon (4th & 5th May).  We have just restocked our supply of BBQ charcoal,
the local charcoal is made on the farm and is excellent for those who like
their BBQ's in the traditional way.

The Easter Gold has been a real success and is sadly coming to season's end,
and we will only have it available for the next few weeks.  The next
seasonal beer will be Mr T's and this will also be available throughout the
next two months.  This means it's the fourth year we have brewed Mr T's.
How quickly that's come round again.

We will be at this weeks Farmers Market in Farnham.  Come along and try a

The Gower is very nice..

Friday, April 25th, 2008

Easter holiday to Oxwich in the Gower peninsula in South Wales ( turn left at Swansea). A really nice area with huge interesting beaches ( 3 cliff’s bay/rhossili). Weather was cold/wet/windy/snowy. Went pony trecking - fun but sore. The beaches were the best feature as they had lots of rock pools with things in them - starfish/squid/cockles, at 3 cliffs bay we were alone on the beach so the dogs had an hour of two off the lead. Discovered that Finn hates kites - he turns into a monster at the site of them - need to buy a kite and cure him of that before the summer. If your ever on the M4 avoid the Cardiff Gate services - huge piles of litter ( so much I didn’t let the dogs out ) and they had removed the height restriction bars from the entry road not the exit - doh! We’d certainly go back again but not during high season judging by the size of the caravan parks and beach car parks - i bet it gets really crowded.
