Healing donkey therapy

A busy morning at the book swap followed by a lazy afternoon in the fields with the donkeys. This is where the calming donkey therapy comes in, nothing so relaxing as brushing a donkey.
After the cold snap the donkeys who had not seen us so much in the cold certainly miss the contact. Rosie the naughty little madam nearly got a name change to " Rosie the good" as she snuggled in lifting her head onto my shoulder and resting it there whilst she was brushed. Lucy kept pushing in as always and Filou the big ugly chap when he arrived waited patiently, what a darling boy he is. He does not like to look at you directly so he appears to be shy looking at you sideways on. Coco is still difficult to coax to you, always the most fearful boy, it always seems to be one step forward but two steps back with him. Who knows what has happened to him in the past.
The afternoon was passed in the sun and Malc and I finished cleaning up donkey pooh, somehow very therapeutic.
