🍑🍎What A Show🍎🍑

A couple of weekends ago, The Town Hall was lucky enough to host the HAHA’s produce show.

Look at all these amazing items that were brought in to show.

The public were allowed to come in part way through the afternoon to take a look at the amazing produce for themselves. The ‘oohs’ and ‘ahhs’ - didn’t go unnoticed!

🐄🐄 Cow News 🐄🐄

Here is one of the amazing animals we have on our common eating a wet wipe. Part of their new diet?
No. It isn’t.

People have discarded unwanted rubbish on the common and here is one of the cows, trying to eat it😭

If this hadn’t got stuck in the cows mouth and they had swallowed it; potentially it would have led to an operation to remove the wipe from their digestive system.

A separate occasion shows a lot of garden waste that has been thrown from a passing car. The bags contained things such as flower pots, plant pot labels and garden waste.

Please please please make sure you take all of your waste home with you from the common. It is dangerous to, not only the cows, but dogs and other wildlife.

Thank you! ... See MoreSee Less

Sadly some unscrupulous people offer to take waste away for a fee then pocket the money and dump the waste. May not be the case here but its a good idea to always make sure you use someone licensed and reputable even for small amounts of waste.

What is wrong with some people?

Disgusting vermin.
