A New Arrival!

Late on Thursday night our dog Toby started barking and fretting at the door so being inquisitive I looked out from behind the curtains and noticed that Jimmy M, the Horseman, was parked outside of our north drive.

So I said to Mrs H " I reckon that one of the mares is foaling in Johnnie's field" 
the field that adjoins our northern hedge.

Friday came and we went about our usual shopping routine and then this morning Mrs H heard Jimmy M calling her name, saying 
"Bring the camera, Bring the camera!"
So off she went camera in hand to take photos of Sheila the foal, followed shortly by my self with yet another camera.

Sheila born 20th August 2015

Feeding time

A proud and pleased Jimmy

Gently untangling her tail.

This small Clydesdale will be next to foal.

Jimmy M visits and tends to his horses every day by grooming and seeing to their well being. Here on this black mare he is carding her tail and removing the tangles before moving up to comb and oil her mane.

I will keep you informed of her foaling.

That Bird

                   See he is back and now properly identified as as A Welsh Redpoll Llinos Flodiog

and this will no doubt please John Gray of Trelawnyd in darkest Wales who is

very fond of birds!

Every time I clip my beard or have a haircut the clippings are put

outside in the garden for the wildlife to use as nesting materials.
