Gosh it’s been a hectic summer!

At last! - the new series is ‘in the can’ as they say
- it starts on

Tuesday 2nd November 7.30pm ITV Wales, then every Tuesday for six weeks...



The TV cameras have been in the park since May - so long you forget that they are there! And it’s hard to look your best when you’re busy mucking out, or doing the daily poo round!

What with the Big Pond Dip, all the new arrivals, and bat-watch in the long evenings it’s been non-stop.But we did find time to go camping one weekend during this summer school holidays - me and my two girls and the great people who brought the Dragon back to life...

The Dragon? Well, it all started when Colin said he’d tracked down a very unusual species for the park. He had us guessing for days, then one morning those clever people who run the Glastonbury Festival rang to say that the Dragon we’d bought from them was arriving with us shortly!

He’s had a full makeover, even a little bit of dental work! So he’s raring to go - waiting to meet you! He’s set on the big lawn and we’ll be using his stage for concerts and functions. And the best thing is that he’s also available for birthdays and weddings. 

And thank goodness for Candy - I think my whole family might have starved if it wasn’t for her! The home cooked and organic food coming out of the new Manor House kitchens is to die for - truly! Candy took over just as the finishing touches were being put to the kitchens and we haven’t looked back... home-cooked hams, slow-cooked beef, local produce, real food. Oh I’d better stop this I’m drooling.

This is our third season and the best yet. To celebrate we’ve made new plans to open all year! Yes! So on those long winter weekends you’ll be able to come along and enjoy the animals and a stroll in the park - some people just come for lunch! We look forward to seeing you all soon. - posted by Anna
