MY LITTLE MATES
Did you know ducks love to nibble? My guys love a cucumber and even more so when you hold it for them!
Here are my best buds - Marco and Dash, both rare breed Silver Appleyards.
Watch for Mildred the baby twin, bringing the drama in the background 🤣

A FIRE IS THE HEART OF A HOME
Isn’t it amazing how a fire transforms a room into something cosy and relaxing.
It’s mesmerising and instantly makes you feel at home. We spend most of December and January in front of one - and the dogs can’t get enough of it!
Both The Barn and The Hayloft have a fire for the perfect winter break!
Note. My little helper and shadow Téa 🤍🐾

Gates breaking in the wind and rain - not exactly what I need while David is at work……

FIESTY BUTTERCUP
So, Buttercup has a new trick!
She locks you in the feed shed while you make breakfast.
We are trying a new donkey feed, I’m pretty sure she hates it and this is her ‘strop’
Fiesty little madam ….. check out David’s extra Yorkshire accent 🤣

BISCUIT MUNCHING SHEEP
My little mate is so friendly - but seriously have you ever seen such a delicate little lady munch of a ginger nut biscuit 🤣🤣
Also what a perfect set of teeth! Listen to that crunch
This little lady was ‘going to market’ last year and I asked our very kind Shepherdess if she could please stay as she is so lovely - and here she is munching on biscuits.
She is a Texel Zwarble mix is you were wondering

HAYLOFT WOOD BURNING STOVE
We have now added a wood burning stove to The Hayloft.
Imagine getting out of the hot tub, into the winter night air and straight in front of this cos crackling fire …….. perfection.
It’s a Firefox stove, which are such amazing quality and so easy to light. The stunning tiles from @porcelainsuperstore are just beautiful in this cosy little barn.

AUTOMATIC DUCK DOOR
We have our @omlet_uk automatic duck door installed here at Pottery Lane Farm. (Check Dash desperate to get out 🤣)
No more nipping out in my PJs at silly o clock to let them out 🙌🏻 it’s amazing!
Very shortly not only can our holiday let guests feed our donkeys but they will be able to hand feed our tame ducks - Marco, Lady, Dash & Goldie. Listen to the silence- birds and ducks and tranquility

Lady - Female Silver Appleyard
