Dorset lifestyle
I don’t always get a tree decorated for my birthday, it means I had somewhere to put my presents and cards before I opened them. Some more trees were delivered today, the guys spooked the donkeys with their post banging and a bit of hammering. Also had a delivery of rubble so double trouble, they’re picking at their straw, changed the batch in the feeder completely. A cold day with sleet showers.
As it’s not known when the donkeys were born their birth date is noted on their passport as 1st January, so the day they arrived here from the Donkey Sanctuary is their birthday, and it’s today! They had a special treat of apple and carrot ice lolly and were given a new toy to play with – a bicycle tyre. It’s hanging on one of the posts next to their plastic red collars; I’ll know in the morning whether they’ve touched it. They don’t play with the car tyre that’s available so I hope this is more successful. A lovely sunny day with warm sunshine and a freshening wind that made the bike ride along Sweet Briar a breeze.
