New Arrivals

Peppa pig had her babies last night – unassisted.  For the past few days she had been snuggling into her bedding, with only her tail showing.  Last night she delivered 10 beautiful piglets, unaided, and here is one in Ellens arms happy today. They are surprisingly large, and extremely shiny and healthy looking.

Two hams serving Beef burgers.

A good day had by all at the Mullingar Eggstravaganza. Plenty of satisfied customers for the organic beef burgers on ciabatta bread with Rocket and caramelised red onions. Some lucky customers got to try them with some of Kellys Emmenthal Cheese – Yum! Read more about the day in the Westmeath Examiner.
