Happy Easter

Happy Easter

We wish you all a happy Easter.   We appreciate many of you will be working over the long weekend and even if you cannot get away for a break, we hope you enjoy some quality time with loved ones and a few chocolatey treats! 

Whatever you are doing this long weekend, remember to take care and enjoy yourself.  It is often too easy to set high expectations of what long weekends and holidays should look like.    Try not to over comit yourself, and make sure you take some time for you.    The weather is set to be great, so maybe a great time to get out and explore some of the things on your backdoor step.   

Have you checked out the Step up For Farming Facebook page?   A private group page full of local walks and excursions for everyone. 

If you have little ones, we have put together an Easter activity sheet for them to complete.  Click on the attached pdf document to download.  

Happy long weekend.
