Our 2 Pugs just need to be close to humans, they enjoy the beach and river walks but really they just need human interaction. They are fed twice a day and sleep inside in their own bed. Further instructions will be provided.

Our hens can be fed scraps and grain at any time of day and water topped up every couple of days.

We would also really love the hose on our garden (if we don’t get rain).

Our garden

local_floristGarden or plant care

Minimal - Please water newly established outside gardens, and a few outside pots & window sill planters. If we don’t get rain.
