Good morning.

This is just a reminder that we are open to the public until 3:30pm today. We then close for a half hour re-set and re-open for our end of summer ticketed event.

This is completely S0LD OUT.

Thank you in advance for your co-operation.

The council have popped a sign up where we were stung.

They are mining bees.

Duke clearly disturbed them which made them attack.

No permanent harm done and we do need to look after them all 😊

We are currently in the emergency vets with Duke.

This is just a warning to other dog owners / children.

We were out with Duke in the lozenge for less than 15 minutes and we got descended on by a swarm of bees.

Duke has been severely stung, all over. Alex and I were also stung.
We really struggled get the bees off of him, they kept continuing to come back and sting.

Thank goodness for emergency veterinary care. They are keeping him in for a while and giving him medication.
They removed at least 10 stings from his legs, paw and mouth 😞
Thank goodness no stings inside his mouth or throat from what they can see.

I will contact Glendenning Farm to see if they can remove the swarm.

Just want to do a personal thank you, to all of you that keep choosing us.

We were full to the brim last night, with no entertainment on.

We never take this for granted.

Thank you to my two girls that were on the bar last night as well, it also happened to be our Lauren’s first shift! Straight in to the deep end. She absolutely smashed it.

Today we will be taking Duke to the Lido at 1pm for his yearly hour of fun so if you see us, come and say hi 🐾

Keep sharing.

He’s been taken twice before, it wouldn’t be a shock if it’s happened again.

We need Max home 😿

💔Have you seen missing Max?
