To take a short break from animal issues, we considered that it may be worth showing you our ‘local patch’ in Kent, England. Central London is about 25 miles away, so our area is pretty natural considering we are so close to one of the major cities of the world.
In the first video above you can take a cold, Winter morning bike ride through rather flat and uninteresting (just purchased|) Jeskyns land which is not yet planted up with trees; you then carry on up through the narrow roads of Cobham village, which is located very near to us. Note – we drive on the left, so do not worry if it seems strange to some of you !
Here is a bit more about Cobham – famous as a haunt for Charles Dickens the Author.
He used to drink in ‘The Leather Bottle’ inn which you can see in the video. A beautiful pub which we have enjoyed a beer in many times !
We are not religious, but there are some rather special places linked with the church – again see them in the video.
The ride then continues through our wonderful natural wooded areas until it reaches the Cobham Mausoleum – burial site for a dynasty from the past; which is located in a woodland area (owned by the Woodland Trust) and which has just undergone a major re vamp restoration by several natural parties.
The final video below shows Jeskyns as it is more recently, planted up with many trees growing and doing fine. The Forestry Commission (England) purchased the (bare farming) land around 10 years ago and since then we have become more involved and seen thousands of trees planted there. Dogs and their walkers can really enjoy the huge space and acres of woodland to walk through. Before you get back in your car to leave, you can grab a cuppa and bite to eat in the Jeskyns Café, and also pick up some produce such as apples from the Jeskyns orchards.
The Jeskyns orchards produce over 750 different varieties of apple.
Enjoy our patch ! – go up the road to London town, or stay here and chill out !SAV.

Merry Christmas!
We at Free Tibet want to wish all the supporters of this project a merry Christmas as we head off for a break over the holiday period. We are already looking forward to 2018 and all the work on the film there is ahead of us. We shall do our best to keep you updated along the way and deliver a final product we can all be proud of.
All the Free Tibet T-shirts and Tibetan flags that were selected as perks should have now been delivered, so if you ordered one but have still yet to receive it please get in touch and we will try to track down what has happened to it.
We sent our footage to the company immediately and demanded that it drops the farm – but we have not received any response.
During two visits to Poplar Farm this autumn our investigators found pigs with open, bleeding wounds on their ears; severely lame pigs left in a pen with other pigs; pregnant pigs kept in barren, concrete pens without any enrichment and severely scarred pigs who appeared to be victims of aggression caused by the harsh living conditions.
In violation of legislation governing disposal of dead animals – intended to minimise the public health risk associated with diseased animals – two dead pigs were left out in the open yard overnight.One had clearly been shot in the head.
We are calling on Morrisons, and all supermarkets, to adopt a zero-tolerance policy on animal welfare breaches.Farms that leave injured and ill animals to suffer should be dropped immediately by retailers!
ACTION
Please contact Morrisons’ CEO David Potts at
david.potts-ceo@morrisonsplc.co.uk
and urge him to drop Poplar Farm immediately. You can also share the above video on Twitter and tag @Morrisons, demanding it takes action.

More absolutely amazing rescue videos from our friends at ‘Animal Aid Unlimited’ in India.
Watch the rescue of Mikki; who had a terrible maggot infested wound, through to the beautiful little happy dog she is today.
Only one chance to rescue a desperate puppy.
Frightened and confused by an excruciating and huge wound, this sweetheart was also suffering from a bad case of mange. But she still had the strength to run away, and our rescue team knew if she dodged our net she’d surely die.
By the luckiest miracle she jumped into an overturned boat and gave our team just the chance they needed. Watch the beautiful result of 6 weeks of treatment and love. Watch adorable Mikki’s joy. She will never leave your heart.
We got a call to rescue a dog stuck in a gate. But when we arrived, our rescuers found an old dog in much more serious trouble. Not only was she completely stuck between very narrow bars in a gate, but she had massive maggot infested wounds on her backside.
Unable to pull her body through the bars or pry them open, we had to call in a metal cutter and have him cut one of the bars off the gate.
Once we got her back to the shelter, we began treating her wounds, started fluids for her dehydration, antibiotics and pain medication. Her wounds were severe, and with her old age recovery would be an uphill battle. But Dotty is a brave, spirited little lady, and she wasn’t about to give up.
Please donate today for street animals who need you now!
Amazing – probably the best rescue of them all – SAV.
Three tiny angels were trapped in hardened tar. They were so completely stuck, they couldn’t move a muscle. It looked like they’d been engulfed for hours, and one little baby’s mouth was even stuck open. Neighbors had heard their heart-wrenching cries for help and had called Animal Aid.
Prying them loose was impossible for the tense rescue team, so we had to cut the tar loose from the rocks below and bring the puppies and the tar and gravel they were stuck in back to the hospital.
Determined volunteers and staff spent hours to soften the tar with oil and dishsoap, with time out only to plant kisses on the puppies’ noses. Multiple warm baths later…and wow.
For babies who had been on the brink of death, this is what happiness looks like.
Please donate to save street animals in the most desperate need.
The eyes of the animals caught on film at the moment their rescuers arrive say it all–“somebody please help me.” And when street animals are desperately trapped, “moving heaven and earth” is exactly what we have to do to help them. Thank you for giving so generously to make sure that no matter how tough the rescue, the next angel and the next will not be left alone to die.
Please donate for the animals who are waiting for a miracle.
