Yes, I know but the kids already know that they have to pay for things because pensions don't buy very much, so they don't ask me to buy anything. If we're out together, they turn to Sarah and say 'Grannie would like that Mummy, go and buy it for her.' Very astute grandchildren, I have ;) Well trained (by me! ;D)

GG's just eat and browse outside (even for about 4 hours), then go in and lie down and cud contendedly. BT goes about eats, cuds, eats a bit more... they are quite different characters. But the nice weather has really been great!

Lottie (it is Lottie that is the goatling I think?) has grown on so well. They're both looking great.
