In the heart of a stable, where the history lies,
The black sheep saw before her own eyes.
A mothers love, a sight to behold,
Where life changing moments all unfold.

The hero in this story has pathed a way,
For the black sheep to have a voice on this day.
To restore a legacy that once held worth,
Where the meek shall inherit the earth.

Happy Christmas everyone ❤️🙏

Looking forward to this - everybody welcome  City Church Bangor 🕯️🕯️

I’m taking a little break from Facebook but want to thank everyone for their amazing support in 2024. I’ve also ended the year on a high now an official author on Amazon! With thanks to my amazing writing group for this one, it is always a privilege to be writing alongside their talent. I have two poems and a short story about being a Lady Bitch in the book.

If you want to find out what a Lady Bitch is you are going to have to spend £1 on Amazon to find out 😜.

Happy Christmas everyone I will hopefully return in 2025 with more stories.

Years and years of these beautiful animals giving unbelievable experiences to the social farmers now brandished “unsafe” for same.

Apologies for all our horse followers and fellow social farmers for this offence, it’s only one of many untruths being spread.

No way should animals serve us unconditionallBehind The Stable Door without serving them back.

Behind The Stable Door is a family and families fight for each other. Our heartfelt thanks goes out to each and every one of you who has believed in us.

We don’t invest in a project ever excepting it to not survive, any entrepreneur understands a new idea carries our ♥️s as well as our ££££ with it, and it consumes our every moment.

For all those who have supported us we remain forever indebted to you. For all those who have benefited from this support we remain indebted to you too.

You are the reason for true faith, for to serve you each and all can never be a loss.

Delighted to be part of a new social enterprise loan fund discussion today with DFE. An economy minister who is passionate about understanding how social enterprises work differently to normal businesses and also filling in the current gaps on how they can access support. This is super exciting news for our social enterprise sector with plans to role the support out on the ground in the next twelve months. Making lasting impact happen.

When a promise made seems so true
You take on life with a positive view
Until the devil shows up without invite
And locks that promise in his sight

He uses all his fiery might
To grab it in a vicious fight
Fire burns round the promised land
The control is in the devil’s hand

This battle can be lost or won
The devil will always have another one
His job in this fight is completed
When the promised one gets left defeated.

Thanks to my Monday night writers group for their concern over my absence. I’d not been in the creative mood but am hoping to return tonight with this new poem. Might still need a bit of fine tuning but writing poetry is often been my go to when I’m challenged. That’s enough for now to have written it. Perfection is not needed for today, effort is.

No better way to spend a morning with my Grandfather and inspiration looking down over me. Thanks to Ards and North Down Borough Council and The Ultimate Pitch for the invite. No nerves on the judging panel today. Good luck to all the new Ards and North Down businesses.

Word of the day “Dissent”

Dissent is an opinion, philosophy or sentiment of non-agreement or opposition to a prevailing idea or policy enforced under the authority of an individual or corporation.

It’s a great word to use when it comes to defending humanity above corporate excesses.

Looking forward to my own use of the word dissent on behalf of every individual life we have served here, and why we did not set out to do this for “corporate excesses”.

My own opinion is the ethical thing to do was hold responsibilities for others above corporate excess.

Now I will get my opportunity to say this publicly and see if the justice system agrees.

The Story Behind The Stable Door

We started Behind The Stable Door in 2018. Our farm is a working farm and the purpose of running a social farm is to allow other people to work alongside us at our farm without exclusion or discrimination.

Whilst we feel this is important to allow this to happen our insurance company now deems our farm as “higher risk” and increased our insurance premiums beyond what we could afford. We get a small contribution from some participants through self-directed support but this is only available to those on disability allowance or an equivalent. Consequently we are left short of funding to allow those without support packages to attend our farm. We don’t want to have to pick and choose and would like to help as many as we can hence the idea of Behind The Stable Door Club. Our club system allows everybody who joins access our farm animals online and the small annual fee attached to joining the clubs in turn helps us to raise vital funds for participants to access the farm.

*Please note we are not an open farm and as we are a working farm our participants come on a referral basis.
