Rides for anyone under 7 stone, so not me! The saddles have a wodge of padding underneath and the donkeys browse a hay net all day in the shade when they’re not walking along the beach. Cut down the nettles and dock along a strip of laneside paddock near the hedge, the donkeys are eating the ripening blackberries along with the thorny brambles. Watered the vegetables, a warm sunny day with the odd drop of rain, the nights are drawing in and it’s almost dark by 8 o’clock, promise of rain tomorrow.
