🐐💔 THE END OF AN ERA AT HOLY CROSS… BUT A NEW CHAPTER FOR OUR FAMOUS FOUR! 💔🐐
This is a post we genuinely hoped we would never have to write, and one that comes with incredibly heavy hearts.
Our famous four, Eddie, Summer, Emily and Father Ben, have officially left Holy Cross Church and moved to their new home at Wiggleys Fun Farm. ❤️
To say we’re devastated would be an understatement.
When we first introduced the goats to Holy Cross, our intentions were simple. We wanted to find a natural way of helping maintain the vast, historic churchyard, tackling some of the brambles, bushes and overgrown areas that have proved so difficult to manage over the years.
What we never expected was just how much these four little characters would capture the hearts of an entire community.
From the moment they arrived, they became so much more than four goats helping with the grounds.
They became part of our family.
They became part of Holy Cross.
And, somehow, they became little celebrities! 🐐❤️
We’ve watched people travel from near and far just to catch a glimpse of them. We’ve seen children excitedly running towards the gates, families stopping to take photographs, and visitors spending time with them simply because they brought a smile to their faces.
We’ve received countless messages, photographs, videos and even drawings. We’ve seen them featured in newspapers, on television and across social media.
But above all, we’ve heard stories from people who told us that these four goats brought them happiness, peace and comfort, sometimes at moments when they needed it most.
That is something we will never, ever forget. ❤️
Sadly, due to the leasing and contractual arrangements surrounding the land, alongside some recent incidents and concerns, we have had to make the incredibly difficult decision that the goats can no longer remain at Holy Cross.
We appreciate that a churchyard is, first and foremost, a special place of remembrance, and we have always wanted to respect that.
Nevertheless, making this decision has been absolutely heartbreaking for everyone involved at Port Talbot Funeral Service.
We’ve grown incredibly attached to them. From the early mornings feeding them, to watching them explore the grounds, getting up to their usual mischief and occasionally testing our patience, they’ve given us memories we’ll treasure forever.
But amongst all the sadness, there is some good news. ❤️
We are absolutely delighted that our famous four have found a new home at Wiggleys Fun Farm🐐
And even better, they’re not too far away!
Knowing that Eddie, Summer, Emily and Father Ben have somewhere new to call home, where they can continue being their cheeky, curious selves, gives us enormous comfort.
We’re especially grateful that they’ve been able to stay together. After everything they’ve experienced as a little group, we couldn’t have wished for anything more.
We want to extend a huge, heartfelt thank you to everyone at Wiggleys Fun Farm for welcoming our famous four and giving them this next chapter.
We really couldn’t be more grateful. ❤️
And to our wonderful community…
THANK YOU.
Thank you for welcoming them, loving them, visiting them, sharing their adventures and making them feel like such a special part of Port Talbot.
What started as a simple idea to help maintain the grounds became something far bigger and more meaningful than we ever imagined.
We’re going to miss seeing their little faces every morning. We’re going to miss their antics, their personalities and the laughter they brought to Holy Cross.
And if we’re being completely truthful, Holy Cross is going to feel a little quieter and a lot emptier without them. 💔
But this isn’t goodbye forever.
Our famous four are still local, and we hope everyone who has followed their adventures will continue to show them the same love and support at their new home.
So please, give Wiggleys Fun Farm a follow, support them and, when you get the chance, pop along and say hello to Eddie, Summer, Emily and Father Ben.
They might have moved on from Holy Cross, but they’ll always have a very special place in our hearts.
Four goats. Countless smiles. Memories we’ll never forget.
Thank you for everything, our famous four. 🐐❤️
With love from everyone at Port Talbot Funeral Service.
