Number one son recently made these metal doors for the horse and donkeys. The doors are made for them to stick their heads through and we give them treats of barley, 🥕 and 🍎 and vegetable peelings.
They seem to like their animal hotel. The only deposits they leave us go on the fym heap for the vegetable garden.😊
Next you'll be installing central heating and a jacuzzi bath for them!
ReplyDeleteGood idea. They want a television installed to watch Mr Ed an Naybours. 😊
ReplyDeleteSounds as if animal heaven is living on a farm in Ireland owned by Mr and Mrs Northsider Dave.
ReplyDeleteSome of my smallholding pals end up in the freezer Debby like yours but we try to give them a good life. We don't eat the horses, pony or horse. Thanks!
ReplyDelete"Number One Son" sounds like a resourceful and practical young man. Good job with the stable doors. It is a shame that you and your missus could not come up with a proper name for him when he was a baby. Calling him "Number One Son" was almost cruel in my opinion. You could have called him Gordon or maybe Peregrine like JayCee's husband.
ReplyDeleteI'm a Charlie Chan fan YP. No1 son is named after his late Grand Father. His Grandfather was called James or Seamus. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteUntil just now I never knew that the names James and Seamus were connected - so thanks.
DeleteYour welcome YP. A Solicitor once told us that the someone called Stephen can also be called/ known as William or John. This can be very confusing when tracing family history.
DeleteAh, please offer some extra delicious treats to the donkeys "from Seanso" ;-)
ReplyDeleteThey love carrots and apples Sean.
ReplyDeleteJust beam them over to Seanhenge's Apple Dorado. Yesterday alone I picked 14 stacks full. One juicier than the other.
DeleteSounds like you have had a super harvest Sean.
DeleteDespite a summer with little rain, we can be satisfied with the beans, cucumbers, courgettes and onions, plums, damsons, apples, walnuts and hazelnuts. Tomato and pepper harvests, on the other hand, were suboptimal compared to other years.
DeleteBut we are grateful to our little garden. Everything that grows thrives without pesticides, and it tastes that way too.
It sounds like you have created your own part of Eden Sean. I don't use any chemicals in the garden.
DeleteNice photos of your menagerie. A lot of animals happy to be living chez Dave
ReplyDeleteThanks Linda. They make up for the rural isolation and keep us busy seeing to them especially in the winter.
