Dorset lifestyle
William and Toby with a few crunchy treats to keep them occupied for a few minutes after their donkey balance treats. Cycled from Moreton to Kingston Maurwood past Hardy’s cottage, had coffee and a sausage roll in the cafe and then made it back before the rain started. Donkeys and sheep were wet when they came in for the night. A cloudy day with rain showers and light winds.
Hoping for more apple slices, both he and William had to stay out of the paddock after more heavy rain overnight, their roll-over patch in The Avenue is a very big puddle. They ate the last of the fresh apple twigs after their vitamins, the bags of dried twigs and nettles will have to last the next few months. A cloudy, sunny, warm day with light winds.
William has two in his mouth at once, just in case Toby picked one up. Toby, of course, has two twigs of his own, they’re eating the Bramley Apple tops which are thicker and crunchier than the new growth from the top of the eating apples. Laneside paddock hedge is looking very neat after donkey foraging and the ground is still dry so not cutting up when they chase around. A foggy start to a warm day with no wind, watered part of the hedge.
