Floss came home today.

We are all thrilled to see her.

Collecting Flossie from the airport was quite an ordeal.  There was torrential rain and fog resulting in some fairly hazardous driving conditions but we’re home safe and that’s all that matters.

After lunch, Flossie and I went for a walk. I had missed feeding the animals due to the airport run so I just wanted to see for myself that everyone was ok as the fields are heavily flooded.

And, yes, now I am glad the Shetland ponies broke through their fence to better pasture. I think they would’ve been utterly miserable living on their track like this.  But no one came up to the containers, despite the heavy rain.  I guess food makes everything better.

Like I said, everyone was pleased to see Floss.

 

(‘Bert’s “Happy Tail” – sheep wag their tails when they are truly happy, like dogs).

The Shetland ponies were divided into two groups.

With the flooded stream splitting them up.

Newt, Albie, Vitamoobag……

And Fivla were one side.

While Waffe, Storm, Silver and Tiddles were over the other side.

We threw them their share of carrots so they didn’t feel left out.

And now it’s stopped raining, it won’t take long for the burn to go down again.

And then we walked back up the hill with Monster, because he came too.
