We stayed a couple of weeks with Diane then went to Badger Cottage on Billy and Jayne’s estate in Stirling for the remainder of the time we were home. It’s beautiful out there, lots of long country walks and very chilly fresh air. We were even visited in the back garden by some of their Highland coos, let me tell you that was a bit of a shock to see them looking in the window at me first thing in the morning, not sure who got the biggest fright. Then there was Rolo and Molly, mother and son donkeys. We would go down at night and feed them and tidy up their stable for bedtime. Diane and Harry came out for a day there as well and Harry got to meet the donkeys too.

Shannon made us animal cakes …..
