Spring delights Lambing season in full flow

Pictured above is Eddie Mitchell’s image of Jack Peacock, aged three, grandson of Jenny Passmore, of Coombes Farm. The farm, near Lancing, is fully open after the coronavirus pandemic forced it to close in 2020 and open only partially last year. Jenny, fourth-generation owner of the farm, said: “It has been so lovely seeing everyone come back to the farm. It’s like welcoming back old friends.” The farm, which has been the Passmore family since 1901, has reintroduced its tractor rides and there are plenty of newborn lambs for visitors to see. Jenny said: “We are always busy around lambing season, its our busiest time of year with all the lambs being born, so that side is going really well. We have had lots of lambs arriving and we have had our third set of quads, which was great.” See page 3 for more details.
