What a wonderful warm sunny week we have had in the region, walking, gardening, cleaning the fields of donkey pooh, ( has to be done) it has all been fabulous. There was an irksome afternoon where I had to make some mince pies and sausage rolls but even that was not too bad with sun shining in, a glass of sherry and traditional Christmas music playing.
Rain is forecast tomorrow but next week promises to be more sun but colder. The oak trees are still holding on to their golden leaves making the views across the valley stunning, green fields, golden leaves, blue sky.
When the days are sunny it gives me more time for donkey care, they love me being in the field and follow me about in a line, Malc says I look like the Pied Piper of Hamelin. Rosie, the naughty one waits till the wheelbarrow is full of pooh then delights in pushing it over, whilst the others look on laughing. Or do I just feel that is what they are doing? I am not having much success with Coco, he will come for food but as I do not feed treats, he will have to learn being brushed with a rough brush is the treat. My girls love it and vie for attention when they see the brush come out, and of course they love the whispering in their ears telling them how special they are. Well I must push on, another day another donkey ... to care for.
Malc says readers will think we have got yet another donkey. That made me laugh and I can picture my daughter in England saying " what is she doing my Mother?" with an exasperated shrug.
