Dorset lifestyle
Toby’s brown nose is a bit of a giveaway, he’s been licking the sheep lick; not harmful in small doses, it must taste nice – the result of being in the wrong paddock a couple of days ago. Collected more bricks for the driveway and edged the mud mats with some broken slabs, filled the gaps with small stones and topped with sand. The donkeys inspected the changes before crossing. A sunny, cool day with light winds.
Digby getting his daily dose of minerals, donkeys and sheep both choose when to have a lick, they combine the minerals with a drink from the water trough to give themselves the correct balance. The donkeys have to walk up to their stable to get their lick, and the walk uphill helps to control their weight. The sheep usually find theirs close to the arcs, the block may need to be relocated as they’re starting to look a little tubby. A warm sunny day with light winds, the balloons were out early and drifting across the vale.
