There will be a Hamster Show at the Fillongley Village Hall on Saturday 7th February 2009. The show starts at 10:30am. Members of the public are welcome to come along to view the animals and speak to the owners.

The Fillongley is north of Coventry, on the B4908. From Coventry, take the Radford Road (Junction 1 of the Ring Road).

One of my Guinness t-shirts is wrong this year. Since St Patrick's Day was moved by 2 days the one I wear on March 17th has the wrong date on it.

This year, for one year only, it's on the March 15th instead of the 17th, so it doesn't clash with the start of Holy Week leading up to Easter. I've got my cans of Guinness in the fridge ready to open tonight.

Coventry City Farm is being forced to close soon, due to lack of funds. At the moment it is still open and they are accepting donations so they can still afford to feed the animals. While we were there, we lent our support by dropping some money in the collection box and also by buying a few things from the shop.

Some enormous pigs.

The duck pond.

Chickens.

A family of guinea pigs eating some carrots. There are actually 3 in the cage. There is a baby eating the bottom carrot but it isn't very clear in the photo.
