Animals in the stables

For a while we kept our nanny goat, Emily, in one of the stables and during one function for sixty guests she began to give birth! We also kept guinea pigs in the stable and on another occasion, a very elegant lady councillor visiting us, opened the cage door to stroke them. ‘I love the big one with the long tail’ she exclaimed ‘its so smooth’ I quickly ushered them out knowing that guinea pigs have no tails! A great farm rat had chewed his way into the rear of the cage and was sharing tea!
