Much better day and everyone pleased with the way the event was going. A couple of people had their tents blown down overnight but it all got sorted. Albert had spent the whole weekend following all the visiting dogs and disgraced himself by cocking his leg on the front of the stage. At this point I moved off pretending he wasn’t with me!

It was busy with people and casualties as the hospital room was overflowing by the end of the day. Our first Shellduckling arrived and a very pretty baby moorhen with its blue eye shadow and red beak.

That fantastic eyeshadow and boy, what big feet!

 There was a late call out by the RSPCA for an RTA deer near the Pipers Inn near Street. Luckily Derek was able to come with me as it was in the hedge. When we arrived the motorist had kindly stayed with it and was very upset by the whole event. The deer was obviously distressed but had no visual injuries so we quickly got him into the ambulance and brought him home. Sadly by the time we had got back it was obvious that he had internal bleeding and was in a lot of pain so I quickly put him to sleep. He was such a lovely roe buck – unfortunately it seems to happen all too often. It was gone 1 a.m. before it was all sorted.

Again visitors were here early to get in and the morning started with bright sunshine. I was held up and feeds for the deer were a little bit late! Derek was quick to appear as soon as he heard my voice, and even checked to see if there was anything left in the jugs once I had poured the milk in their dish!

Derek is quick to hear me coming

Has it all gone ??

 It was great, there was a Mr Whippy ice cream van so a 99 was the order of the day. Sometimes you never grow up !! There was a few showers but the sun stayed out most of the day but heavy rain came in at about 4 p.m. and most people were on their way home soon after. But quite a few people stayed on for the Healing Evening which went on until 10 p.m. By then the rain was pouring and the wind was up so there was  a few bedraggled souls!

Our Fist Healing Weekend at Secret World

Our first day of the healing weekend and there have been quite a few people in. Many stalls and really attractive crystals and jewellery. There are work shops with people giving healing and the whole area has a very peaceful feel about it. I was very concerned what people would think as this event used to be held at Bill Harrison’s house which was deep in the country with its own atmosphere. Here with the roaring motorway, I worried that visitors and exhibitors would feel that it was too different but they all seemed happy.

There was a lot of work getting everyone in, sorting out those wishing to camp, stall holders wanting to get to their pitches and visitors arriving early but it worked out ok. The radios were a blessing and Simon charging around on his bike to sort out problems seemed to do the trick!

Lisa has been taking care of a Serotine bat that does not seem to want to feed so she has been taking it home to hand feed. He’s looking  better for the intensive treatment.

There was an evening of music in one of the large tents and Neil H was playing which was as popular as ever. We have already sold tickets for the concert that he is holding again for us this year in October.

 We all wait for tomorrow with trepidation as the forecast is not good !
