And Danny looked on...

"For this you give me extra carrots and corn?" "What are these guys?" "Why are they in my home pen?" Poor Danny the Donkey. He looked on inquisitively, and slightly confused, as the two New Romantic weaners took over what had been his home for the past few months. OK. He now has a lovely green paddock looking out over the sheep fields and some farm buildings and one of the main entrance roads. But, hang on, does that make up for losing The Winter Quarters???? I think he was prepared to suspend judgement. Certainly the little guys were slightly overwhelmed by their new home: after a quick scoot round they settled to rootling close to Danny - I reckon they'd have been more than happy to share his pen with him..... bet it won't be too long before they've made a good fist of rootling under that gate to get next door. Which we mentioned to Porig, their temporary Mum cum keeper - who said, since they'd been born on her birthday, she'd take special care of them.... and fix any troublesome exit points....... Note the 'troublesome'. Maybe the New Romantics will not find themselves too confined.... Anyway, this weekend is Grand Spring Opening at Elsham Hall Country Park (the New Romantics' summer home) so the Curly Coats are going to have lots of visitors to pet and pamper them. And their departure from Rectory Reserve marks the beginning of our own Migratory Season as our young charges go off to various summer quarters to "Wow" their public...............
