It's been a while since I last visited Bodenham Arboretum, probably more than twelve months. The weather was quite dull this morning but Jenny said she was taking Arty and asked if I wanted to go along too. I haven't been getting out a lot recently so jumped at the chance to get some fresh air and spend some time with them both.
It's rather bleak looking at the moment with the bare trees and mud, lots of mud despite there not being much rain recently, it still made for a lovely walk though. We bought some food for the ducks as we went in and, as you can see they were rather hungry, Arty didn't know what to make of them all crowding round and in a panic emptied all the food out at once! We bought another box on the way out and he did the same again!
Over the other side of the pond is the farm, it's a working farm but you can go and see the animals. What cute faces the cows have. The sign said they were Hereford cattle, I love their cury hair and long eyelashes, although I forget how big cows are until faced with one, Arty looks like he is thinking the same in the photo.
The best thing was the baby donkey though, how cute is he!!! Awww, I wanted to bring him home and Arty has decided he would like one for his birthday.
Not too sure that he will be granted that particular birthday wish.
