Jimmy's Diary - May
Wed/May/2008
Hello everyone…
As the sun started shining and all the puddles dried up it was finally time to leave the barn and hay behind, and head out into the fields and munch on the delicious fresh grass… As mum has her hooves full looking after young Bobby, I am living with the boys, ex-race horse Toby and Sam the stallion Donkey out in the paddock but mum is not to far away just over the fence in fact!
Bobby is doing really well and loves all the attention, although he is getting a bit cheeky. He even tried sneaking into Pats vegetable patch, but as she's always busy digging and weeding she soon told him off and sent him on his way.
We also have some new arrivals in the animal barn as Thyme gave birth to 10 spotty piglets which are all doing really well. We are also hoping to have some ducklings wandering the yard soon as lots of our Muscovy Ducks are sitting all around the farmyard. Another more exotic bird that is sitting on eggs is Ivory the Rhea. Ebony has been laying her eggs for the last few weeks and Ivory has now decided it's time and gathered the large eggs into his nest so he can keep them nice and warm. So fingers crossed…
Katie and Ricky are still busy making scarecrows ready for Scarecrow Week which starts on the 24th May until the 1st June.
Come and spot the scarecrows on the tractor rides, make miniature scarecrows in craft, bring some clothes to make a big one (we will provide the straw) Rupert has said that he will give a daily prize for the best 'BIG' scarecrow if he can use it to scare the birds off his crops. There will also be a grand final on Sunday 1st June where the overall winner will win a day pass for 2 Adults and 2 Children at Christmas if you have time after all of that you can also feed a lamb or two and cheer on our sheep and goats in animal racing... So much to do make sure you find time to come and see me.
Look forward to seeing you soon.
