The donkeys arrive!

A few weeks ago our friend Jane asked what we intended doing with our field. Other than getting it cut and keeping it as tidy as possible, not much we replied. So we now have Jane's two rescue donkeys, Belle and her sister Lena, living at the bottom of our field.

Belle

Her farmer neighbour, Jean-Denis, very kindly cut and baled the hay from the field before the donkeys' arrival.

They are no trouble, make no noise and are surprisingly sweet smelling. They are a delight to watch and are proving to be a great attraction to both our guests and all our neighbours.

Lena

The latest news is that Jane thinks that Lena is expecting a foal, though the arrival date is undetermined as yet. We'll keep everyone posted as events progress.
