Pentiddy

Spent today here www.pentiddy.co.uk I didn't take any photos as I had Edan on my back and Storm on a lead plus K and a picnic and it rained everytime I thought about the camera :)
It was lovely, and we are re-thinking the wind turbine idea that was shelved a while ago.

Roskillys

Today was a hot sunny day with a bit of a breeze coming in to tone down the stuffiness of the last few days, off we went to Roskillys for ice cream and cows.

Lunch first in the shade, OK but quite a boring selection and pricey! The birds were a delight though and obviously well used to visitors, this scrappy looking robin ate quite happily from my hand.

The old tractor was an instant hit unsurprisingly, if we could get one to stick in the field the boys would be in utter heaven.

Then we bimbled up to see the calving pens not really expecting anything and we saw a minute old calf, he was still all wet and she still had to deliver the sack/placenta. She was desperate for him to get up but he was very wobbly!

We then strolled down to the ponds where I tried to take some reflectiony pictures.....

and a boy on a bridge

and an enormous dragonfly beasty.

Is there a trick to getting pictures to be where I want then rather than them always appearing at the top and me having to drag them down? When ther are more than a couple it's a total PIA.

Sheep!

I'm looking into getting 2 minature southdowns! There just happens to be a local breeder nearby, hoping they reply to my email asap about going for a visit :)

They are friendly, good size for children, cashmere like wool for spinning/knitting, eat grass but leave trees alone (this is important as we are planning trees and some hedging to go in in the autumn.) and lastly they look like wee bears, what more could you ask for. (lets hope they aren't silly money!)
