Woohoo……Santas coming!!!!

November 18, 2016 By admin

Santa's Grotto[1]Hi all, George here again!

So I have just hear from the Emily the emu that Santa is going to be visiting us again this year, ooooh it’s soo exciting! I usually don’t get this exciting, I like to play it cool really, but it is SANTA after all!

It really is great news as the farm is currently being transformed into Ireland’s Lapland once again. So it appears that Santa will be arriving on Sat the 3rd Dec at 5pm by horse drawn sleigh and he will be here visiting until the 23rd Dec, Mon to Fri from 4pm to 7pm and Sat and Sun from 2pm to 7pm. I really can’t wait to see him, I have my letter wrote and all so I will give it to him when he gets here, I have even asked for a surprise for Gina this year….see I am in a good mood.

See you all here at Ireland’s Lapland soon!!!

Bye for now,
George! 🙂

Summer is here!

April 13, 2016 By admin

Hi George the Monkey here again! The sun has finally come out and all the animals are enjoy the nice weather. I saw the goat was lying out sun bathing yesterday while her two little kid goats were jumping on top of her. The little rascles!!!

We also have new little baby rabbits born and lots of little chickens. Its going to be a busy month here on the farm, we are expecting Beauty the Jersey cow to have a little calf in the next few weeks, fingers crossed!

Did you know for any of you kids that like to visit often, there is a season ticket that you can get! Its 20 euro per adult and 40 euro per child, and I think under 18 months are free. You can come visit me as many times as you want until the end of September. Imagine we will be best friends by the end of the summer. Well I better run, see ye all soon. Byeeee!kid goat

Spring is here! Easter Egg Hunts Easter Sat, Sun & Mon.

February 29, 2016 By admin

Hi it’s me again, George the Monkey! I haven’t been writing much in the last while but it’s getting exciting on the farm again. I just love Spring, the lambs are jumping, the chicks are hatching and I think we even have some babies bunny born just the other day!

All of the humans are running around tiding and painting so the farm must be reopening very soon. I’m told it’s St. Patrick’s Day and then the farm is open everyday until the end of September. It’s so much fun when the farm is open, I love to seen all the small visitors coming to the farm. They all make funny faces and I like to copy som

e of their funny expressions.

I have also heard from the goats, they live next door, that Easter is really early this year. That means that the annual Easter eggs hunts are starting on Saturday the 26th of March and are on Sunday and Monday as well at 3pm each day. It’s so exciting, everyone gathers at the nature walk gate and all the kids race all over the huge field searching for the Easter eggs! I wonder will you be fast enough to find the chocolate treasures. Well I better go now, Gina my wife is calling me, I think I see the llamas out for a walk. Bye for now!

Spooktastic Halloween @ Glendeer Pet Farm

October 13, 2015 By admin

Hi all, George here again, well it’s hard to believe it’s that time of year again, the leaves are falling, the evenings are getting dark and he kids will soon be turning into all sorts of ghosts and ghouls!

Myself and Gina love this time of year, we’ve had a little break and can’t wait to see all your kids and mammies and daddies coming to say hello again, but this time you can come as whatever you want….I wonder will I see any of my monkey family visiting me this year, any one dressing up as a George???

I have already loads of ghosts, ghouls, scarecrows and witches hanging around so you’ll be guaranteed a Spooktastic time!

I hear Willow the witch will be popping in again this year, there will also be marshmallow toasting, and an eerie maze……but be warned, enter at your own risk!  It’s gonna be a great, eerie, ghoulish Halloween @ Glendeer Pet Farm, so come along to see us all!

Spooktastic Halloween Event

October 4, 2012 By admin

Hi all,

George ere again!

I hope your summer was good..it was great here, even though there was a lot of rain we still had lots of people visiting, it’s because a lot of the farm is undercover & there’s lots to do even in the rain, especially with the new playground.

But the farm is now closed so it’s very quiet, I can see a little glimpse of the new pictures being painted in the new play area & plans are beginning to take shape on the ‘Spooktastic Halloween event’ that takes place here at Glendeer from 27th Oct to 4th Nov inclusive. It was great last year, we had so much fun watching the kids toasting their marshmallows – that just beside our house, & it was even easier to jump up on the fence & frighten them, hehe, I know it’s bold but Gina & I love to give people a fright! But there will be lots of other little frights along the way during our Halloween Event, so come along & enjoy it!

See you all there,

George (the monkey of course)!

Free Adult Voucher

August 22, 2012 By admin

Hello Everyone,

George here again, sorry I haven’t been blogging in a while, but our internet connection was down, I think Gina had something to do with it because she doesn’t like me spending so much time on the internet, I’m always playing games on it!

 

It has been a fairly wet summer..well so we hear everyone saying but people still love to come & visit regardless of the weather, I suppose it’s because of the new indoor playarea, the kids seem to love that, we can hear their squeals of excitement from our home just outside of the play shed where the Skywalk playarea & the sand area are! Sometime we like when it’s raining because it means people stay under the covered area which is beside us & we get to watch them all & their funny antics for longer, ye humans can be very entertaining you know!

 

There’s one other little thing I want to mention but I don’t know if I’m supposed to tell everyone about it …… I heard about a great deal available at the farm…actually it was Suzie the donkey who was telling me she hears all the news around here, probably because she wanders around the whole farm (she’s a bit of a gossip to be honest – don’t tell her I said that) anyway more about this deal it’s ‘One Adult Free Deal with every 2 or more children’ this deal is available every Tues & Weds until 30th Sept 2012, I’ve put up the voucher for you to print off & bring along to the farm when you visit!

 

Gina and me hope to see ye all soon!!!

Byeeeeee!
