Animals

All the animals are doing very well, the bigger of the ducklings have now moved up to the big pond, to be with the adult ducks, they are enjoying swimming in the big ponds.
The ducklings in the shed have now moved to the paddock outside the cottage and are loving been spoilt with titbits by everyone that is staying in the cottage.

The sheep are waiting to be sheared, after all the rain we have to wait for their wool to dry, hopefully it will be soon as they are very warm.All the lambs are growing very fast and some of them are huge.

Eddie and Bertie the foals from last year are now in training for the shows, they have to learn to walk properly on a lead rope,get used to having their feet checked, and generally behave(which is difficult when you are just 1 year old)Claire and Grace are busy every night brushing the boys to get their coats looking nice.
The first show they will be going to is 11th august (Hope Show) and then on the 14th August is the big county show. Prince Erland (the foal) is getting very big, hes a real cheeky monkey.
