Dave ( Deepinthewoods ) and his delightful , (not to mention extremely intelligent ) daughter Ellie dropped by for a visit today , what charming civilised people they are.
Despite the foul weather turning what is left of our drive into a river, and the mud into slurry, they made it up the track for lunch, the goats must have sensed something different about the day and decided to go awol at milking time this morning just to cause the maximum disruption of our plans , (Rena only got milked at 19:45hrs as she was missing all day)
Had to count the horses after Ellie went as she might have smuggled one or two into their car, Amdani (grey stallion ) was quite taken with Ellie , so was Gabi , she even parted with a couple of books, unheared of before.
