Ive had a lot of work to do the last few days, work on the internet I mean, so not done as much on the castle as i would have liked. Wilmer our pot bellied pig who follows me everywhere came to work with me today, unfortunately she isn’t much help, she is content to [...]
Our Pygmy goats, Billy, Milly and Cher have moved out YIPPEE….. I’m a little sad to see them go, but i wont miss the smell of Billy. It was difficult as sometimes we are away for a few days and although we have someone who feeds the animals while we are away, the goats have [...]
