Gutted to have missed this :( Mrs SB has a stomach bug so that has grounded us for the day. Hope you all have an amazing time, please someone take photos!
 
Lovely afternoon spent at the sanctuary, helped along with no rain and plenty of Wiebke's cakes :) Oh and Stewybus in charge of the kettle ;)
Many thanks to Debbie for organising this open day. It was also great to see the picture being auctioned and raising £55! :)

So, lovely to see all the piggies in their glory. Some adorable little munchkins there! Was good to meet @Tim also great to see @Wiebke those cakes were very very scrummy. I loved the Mint and Lemon! I didn't get to see @lil and @Dindypig and i missed @Stewybus should have gone to the kettle! shame but hopefully next time. @minty&garry was great to see you both too! Weather held out and sun galore! I also won on the raffle! I gave Debbie her £100 pounds too so a brilliant afternoon all round! Thanks to all those special people who sponsored me! @sport_billy so sorry you and Mrs SB didn't make it. I hope she feels better soon! X
 
Sounds like a wonderful day. Glad it went well. Debbie, I will send a donation over tomorrow.
 
Great photos as always Tim :) Sorry we weren't there Mrs SB is feeling perkier, I just hope she doesn't spread the love to me so to speak....

Can anyone put names to faces in those photo's?
 
Glad the rain held for you - hopefully I will have a car that will be capable of getting me there next year!
 
Not long arrived home from the open day, which we thoroughly enjoyed. It was very nice to meet a few forum people for the first time, and also to acquire a few presents for our own piggies. They weren't too impressed at the late arrival of their supper today, but were slightly mollified by the offering of a couple of new cuddle beds!

I am roughly in the middle of the second photo down, wearing a green skirt and white blouse. My husband is to the left of the same pic. He also appears in the last photo, or rather, his hands do, cuddling little Albert the guinea pig!
 
Guys, looks like you ad a fabulous time. So sorry I couldn't make it, between my tooth hurting (crown work done yesterday...long time in the chair!), and a work thingy to take care off....I was gutted...and I so wanted to see Debbie's new hutches and see how the garden was looking after all the work!

Thanks @GloriousGuineaGirl (p.s. I loaded a photo of me in the Slave Gallery if you want a proper nosey). sorry to have missed Weibke's cakes.

Honestly, life is for living, but I wasn't feeling super duper today. Cheers @Tim for the photo's was great to see everyone looking like they are having a great time...honestly gutted...
 
So sad that I missed this! Really wish there was a way that I could be in two places at once! Looks and sounds like a wonderful day - well done all involved! :) x
 
Gutted I missed it again this year. Even though we managed to drive home for around 11am we had to go straight to the hospital as I had a bit of an axe-to-finger axe-ident while chopping wood on holiday and needed the dressing checking and the wound reviewing. Luckily the little flap of skin is looking pink so I don't need the end of my finger chopping off eeks!

It was amazing how many people approached me asking "are you Tim?" When I didn't really know anyone there! Must've spotted my good looking face on crimewatch....

Your cheeky face matches your cheeky personality!
@Lady Kelly - oops, hope your finger is okay...ignore Tim, he's just talking about his own personal experience there...LOL (JUST KIDDING), hope your finger is okay.

I was missing you, @sport_billy! I hope that @Mrs Sport_Billy is going to feel better soon! I hope that those who couldn't attend today, can come to the next TEAS open day.

Here is the picture of the freshly laid out cake table; I am rather proud that I did get so much done in three days of baking under the circumstances and even more delighted that all the cake and most of the muffins (of which there were a lot more, enough to fill the two pet carrier boxes in the back!) were sold despite the appetite killing muggy heat that hit as soon as the sun was out. With @Stewybus stalwardly manning the kettles, we made about the same amount as last year.

PS: The man on the left in Tim's second cake table picture talking with me is "Uncle Simon" Maddock, the vet for TEAS, giving the cake table a very thorough examination before deciding on the best way of dealing with the too-much-choice syndrome! Luckily for him, he managed to get the last piece of chocolate cake; but it was a near thing! :)

I was thrilled Simon popped in. He's so lovely and really takes a genuine interest in the work of the sanctuary x

Wow, Simon is quite a dish - I agree with you @lil. Mind you, any vet who specialises in looking after our cavies is likely to be high on my list of favourite people. How lovely that he came to the open day.

Haha yes having to get help with lots of little bits and pieces at the moment. Its amazing how reliant you are on both your index fingers. Cos of the strips and healing etc I can't fully straighten it without pain so trying to learn new ways of doing everyday things
 
@Lady Kelly, I am very sorry about your accident! Having managed to cut myself quite deeply with my pocket knife in my index finger, I feel for you not being able to use it! I hope that it heals well and quickly nevertheless!
 
That's me in the red, it was great to come down and have some great piggie cuddles and raise lots of money - I got to hand over the £60 in sponsorship money that we raised on Potty for Piggies for Captain Darling and Edith :) x
