It has been a very sad start to august for us, Jeannie our Norwegian fjord pony died suddenly having suffered a rupture to her main artery. She was only 5 years old and it was very unexpected. Her half sister Bonnie is till with us and we are working hard with her as she is missing her sister.
On a lighter note we did very well with the Herdwick sheep at Borrowby show, gaining 3 x 2nd places in the native sheep section.
The cottages have been very busy, and people seem to have enjoyed their stay with us, making lovely comments in the visitor books and making advanced bookings for next year.
Some of the chickens we purchased as ex-battery hens are now fully feathered and getting very cheeky, arriving at the house gates on a morning, looking hopeful for visitors toast and nibbles!!!
We have 3 super Siberian kittens that are now old enough to advertise, one in particular looks like a little bear, so we have called him Steiff!!!
well thats all the August news to date,
audrey and jim
