Hi
Sam thankfully appears to be over the worst of his attempt to poison himself and all the goats have been spoilt rotten by our cottage guests. They have learnt very quickly that if they stand by the fence and bleat at the cottage, someone will come out and give them treats!
The cottage is currently undergoing a spruce up outside - new paint on the render and wood varnish on the cedar cladding and soffits. The mahogany windows will get a new coat of varnish later in the month when there no-one in. The hanging baskets are now flourishing and will be hung this weekend. I have also planted new "non-toxic to goats" plants in the tubs at the rear of the cottage "just in case".
The geese have decided that they intend to keep building and sitting on nests, even though they have stopped laying eggs - I think they are having some sort of "mid-life crisis"! We still let them out to have a wander but have to keep an eye on them because they've also taken to wandering down the road.....
If you would like to meet our menagerie, check out the availability on www.dalraddycottage.com and go to the availability page.
