Introducing Freckle and Lottie

These two huggable pooches are two of my new charges for the next fortnight, along with the hens, ducks, guinea fowl and tortoise who live here.

I only arrived a short time ago, so I'm still settling in and everything is still a bit strange., but it's guaranteed that you'll be seeing more of all the animals during my stay.

Unfortunately the weather forecast for the coming week is dire. I foresee lots of muddy, drenched walks. Just as well I brought my wellies...
