Safely back home to be welcomed back by appreciative pets. Bonny was rather quiet last night which we thought odd, but today found out that she had eaten the contents of the house sitters waste bin yesterday which would explain things.
Rosie the naughty donkey who had spent Christmas Eve on a walk about which was discovered on Christmas Day apparently appeared at the salon window and asked to be let back in with the others. The family thought she had probably stayed in the grounds but as we walked up the road today we saw piles of donkey pooh in evidence all along the way, so we could practically track her movements.
The cats have all reappeared from their various hiding places apparently making pop back visits to eat and then rather than suffering a toddlers caresses nipped back out to the barn.
The hen Penny was in evidence as always around the garden and grounds nothing seems to phase her. Why is she a chicken who does not cross the road? The fact she stays within our boundaries amazes us.
The owl is still about with interesting piles of regurgitated bits and white pooh just at the entrance to the salon door .
We had a great Christmas with our family but what a welcome home one receives from the pets, and it reminds me of the book title " Our family and other animals" by Gerald Durrell.
