We had some youthful visitors yesterday, and so we took them on a trip to Millets Farm Centre, which is a few miles away and has (as well as a farm shop and a garden centre) a play area and animals on display. I promised them woolly pigs, but they were taking a nap in their barn and were too far away for a good look.
And so it was great that there was a new innovation that we hadn’t seen to take their place. There was once a guinea pig enclosure that looked a bit like TellyTubby land – a mound with lots of tunnels and hideaways and it looked like a lovely place to be a guinea pig. But it had stood empty for some time – until now.
They have built a magnificent wooden bridge, which links the guinea pig pen with the goat enclosure!
The goats seem to love it. They climb up, sit on on the top for a while and watch the world go by, and then climb down the other side to see if there’s something tasty to nibble. Then they do the same in reverse.
The goats are tame, and happy to be stroked. While I was taking this one’s photo it was snuffling at my arm. But then it decided it wanted to eat my sleeve! All they need now is a troll :)
