Keith had asked if we could move Molly back to our land this morning to allow room for his new foal. Managed this before breakfast and then went down to see how things were on the farm. I spent the rest of the morning helping build new accommodation for the ducks, watching the vet deal with a cow with a prolapse and preparing a space for the new foal. During all of this we had more torrents of rain and gale force winds which added to the enjoyment. We also had to clear vermin which we uncovered when moving a stack of straw bales. Discovered that some of the mice we dispatched were actually baby rats when the mother rat appeared from under the last bale. Unfortunately she took us all by surprise and escaped into the yard.
Michael arrived with the new filly just before lunch and Linda came down to check her out in the afternoon. A very pretty dun Connemara pony with black mane and tail. No name yet but watch this space.
It was fun to visit the big city but it’s good to be home!
