Holidays and clocks

Oh what lovely weather! At least there are some who are enjoying it - the pigs! Sausage and Bacon are having a lovely time in the mud. Their field has all been ploughed up in their quest for roots and grubs and with all the rain has become a complete mud bath. They have really grown - as soon as the weather improves I will take some more photos of them.

Some people who have been enjoying the summer holidays are Thomas and Oliver. Here is a picture of them having a great day out at The Alnwick Garden, in Northumberland, well worth a visit, especially if you have kids, I am told.

Meanwhile, I am tucked up in the nice warm office putting some great new tractor clock, digger clock and horse clocks on the website, whilst supervising cake making the my 6-year old son. They are gorgeous (the clocks, not the cakes), I have already given some as presents for children.

Enjoy the holidays!

We are all very excited here in the Farm Toys office - after being filmed for The Pitch last month, I was on BBC Somerset radio last week, I will be in Hello magazine in no time!!!

We have also been talking to Luke Joyce, age 3, from Lancashire, who was the lucky winner of our ride-on tractor competition. Well actually we have been talking to his mum. They decided he would like one of our new excavators, ideal for the sandpit or even taking to the beach, but then went for a last minute change and decided on a John Deere Pedal Tractor & Trailer.

We have a new competition this month to win a Wheelie Suit Case - either a horse one or one with tractors and diggers on. Go to www.farmtoysonline.co.uk/competition to enter.

Meanwhile out in the fields the sheep have finally been shorn (or is it sheared?). I am sure it was a welcome relief, with last week's weather, but now that the rain has set in I am not so sure!
