Eleven Little Piggies

Lawrence Weston Community Farm is very pleased to announce the birth of eleven delightful little piglets. Maddie, the Saddleback sow her first litter at lunch time on the 13th May. The delivery went without a hitch and Maddie did a fantastic job taking only 2 hrs to deliver eleven piglets! The piglets are running around practising their oinking and suckling lots of milk.
Alex Willis the Farm Manager said “We are delighted with the new arrivals. It has been a long time since there were any piglets at the farm and it is lovely for visitors and volunteers to see new life. All are welcome to see the new piglets and welcome them to Lawrence Weston”.
The farm is open Tuesday-Sunday from 9.30-4.30pm. Closed on Mondays.

Blaise W.I. meets on the third Tuesday of the month at Henbury Village Hall.The first half hour of the meeting is taken up with business and is then following by a speaker or demonstration of some kind. Occasionally, the meeting is spent chatting with friends over wine and cheese or an American Supper. We have several outings during the year when non-members are welcome to join us.
