A bill to ban the live export of animals by sea has passed its final hurdle in Aotearoa – the horrific trade will cease as of April next year 🙌

Recognising that extended time at sea heightens animals’ risk of heat stress and other issues, Minister for Agriculture, Damien O’Connor stated that the ban “reinforces and builds on New Zealand's reputation".

We’d like to congratulate decision-makers, and of course the dedicated people who continued to speak up, on this historic step towards a world that is kinder to all animals.

While caring people in Australia eagerly await an announcement from the government about when a phase out of the brutal live sheep trade will be in place, our neighbours have already taken action to stop animals suffering at sea.

Thank you to all who continue to urge our government to take action. Our work alongside you will continue until this becomes reality in Australia, as well 💪

Well done Tom!
Many of you will have eaten food prepared by Tom, when eating at the Fig Tree.
Now you can see just how good he has become at Crockers in Henley-on-Thames

How long have you worked at your current restaurant? I’ve worked at Crockers for 4 months. I started 3 days before lockdown kicked in so we had to massively change opening plans to accommodat…

Hello, If you like quality wines or know someone who does and would like a collection, I am reluctantly selling mine. It is all stored with a vintner in Cardiff and I can arrange delivery. If you are interested please message me and I will send you a list of what I have. Some are ready for drinking now, some will benefit from further collating, from 2-30 years + :-)
It is sad to sell them but I no longer have the facilities to store them.
Thanks
Mike

Hola, We are in lock down here and have been since 14th March. Although no confirmed cases in Orgiva, everyone is taking the threat very seriously.
It is amazing to see nature waking up here, the almonds flowered in February and now have fruits on them, the avocados and oranges are flowering and small amazing, and they still have so many of last year's fruit still on them. Nature is continuing no matter what us humans are doing
We hope this isolation will be over soon and we can again open for visitors and holiday makers, and share our beautiful casa, gardens and amazing countryside.
In the mean time, stay safe and stay sensible.

Two of our chefs from the Fig Tree, Nathan and Jamie are running the kitchen, and I think a lot of the menu will be similar to the Fig Tree.
If you miss the Fig Tree Restaurant, then this could be a great alternative.
When you visit, say hello to the chefs and tell them where you heard about it.
Missing you all, hope to see you in sunny Spain.
