Spring animals

We spent a very quiet bank holiday catching up with work and study, the teenager devoted herself to another duvet day, the third on the trot, whilst the boy contented himself with x-box and football and food! Dave and I took Chum to Ripley for his walk, as we pulled into the village we spotted this beautiful foal, he was kicking his heels up and enjoying his freedom as only a youngster can. The chickens were ever hopeful of some crumbs too. All the animals in the little farm lead a charmed life, they are healthy, friendly, excellently looked after and fussed over by all the visitors, it is a scene that always brings a smile to my face.

They are Kate's animals, and she does take very good care of them. She lives in the farm on the other side of the Ripley Village. I now need to go and take a look at that foal too. It was not there last week, maybe it has just been born. Some of Kate's draft horses are very powerful beasts. Blossom pushed me over a long time ago out of pure love...
