Everyone's saying that spring is coming early this year and that certainly seems to apply here on RectoryReserve. The ground is carpeted in snowdrops, crocii are appearing in increasing numbers and the daffodils, lillies and other spring flowers are well advanced out of the ground. To cap it all, one of the ducks laid the first egg of the season yesterday. So that confirms it. Spring is here.So perhaps we should not be surprised that this week saw the arrival of our first RectoryReserve Safari experience visitor. Elizabeth had travelled all the way over from Oshawa in Canada to live the country idyll for a few days. Here she is introducing herself to Precious and her siblings (I have to add that Precious later got a little too friendly and nipped her on the knee .. in a nice way!). By the end of her stay, just a few short days later, Elizabeth had added many new skills to her repertoire - mucking out pigs and ponies being just the most basic of those. Certainly she continued on her journey to Belgium with a far deper appreciation and understanding of the quirks of animals and life in the country.
She was well pleased.
