They have done it again, the little beggars.

This weather apart from being rotten for us all is causing havoc with my donkeys. The fields are saturated which is not good for their hooves and the grass is lush and luxuriant , not good for their now huge tummies. We have been trying to keep them in a small area of field which is well eaten over but the little beggars have different ideas. This morning Malc and I were out together playing " diversion tactics" a good game where one walks with their much loved grey buckets to their hut then the other nips out of the bushes where they were hiding to run and fence off the field while the donkeys are occupied. It went so easily this morning that we might of guessed the pair had something up their sleeves, is there a donkey analogy for that ? Anyway how they have managed it, I am not sure but here they are again opposite the house window smiling in. I will have to go and don the wellys and make the perilous descent down the field  being nudged all the way to see where they are breaking out... and you all thought they were  cute!
