Farmyard Friends

well, fields rather than a yard really, but farmyard sounds better. 

We took what we've started to call out 'donkey walk' yesterday. It takes us past a field with - yes, a donkey in it. And also another one a bit further on with some rare breed pigs. The gate to the pig field has a notice on it which encourages you to feed the pigs and gives a list of what they like to eat. Which actually is nice. 

At my suggestion we took a few carrots with us. The idea was to give two to the donkey and anther two to the pigs. We hadn't foreseen the presence in the donkey field of a very pushy pony, so by the time we got to the pigs we had no carrots left. The walk is circular so next time we'll do it in the other direction, to make sure the pigs don't lose out.
