Weโve had the shocking news that our hay is now ยฃ10 a bale due to the hay crisis in the UK. Itโs absolutely crippling
If thereโs anyway you can help us reach our target so we can put in a big hay delivery, weโd be really thankful: www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding...

Four of my 'deep peace' paintings.
The animals are painted in watercolours.
The gold is Schmincke Aqua Bronze. This can be tricky to work with but really elevates everything.

Sheep form close & long lasting friendships.
Harby & Arkle were sad & neglected when we rescued them. Now theyโre thriving! They particularly enjoy getting into mischief together โค๏ธโค๏ธ

The hay crisis strikes again! Another price increase of ยฃ1 a bale. Our delivery cost has already tripled ๐
Alongside vet bills, Sanctuary costs keep rising. It would mean so much if you're able to donate or share

A barn owl, flying in the night. A ring of moons - the 13 2026 Full Moons And their names written next to them. A watercolour and gouache painting by Sam Cannon
Two deer, standing under a spreading tree with the words by Samuel Taylor Coleridge. Friendship is a sheltering tree. A large golden moon behind. Colours are autumnal.
I've just had these two pictures made into greetings cards.
2026 Full Moons is code number SQ-240
Friendship is a sheltering tree is code number SQ-241
"Youth and Age" is a poem written by Samuel Taylor Coleridge.
