Photo is of three donkeys, five little boys, and a guardian granny. This afternoon we motored over to a farm shop at Stratford St. Mary, bought some new potatoes and some locally grown strawberries. We then went to the tea shop on the farm, had a pot of tea and scones, sitting outside, and watching donkeys, et cetera.
Nea. Please tell the girls that now we have made the aquaintance of these donkeys (etc.) we shall be in a position to introduce them if you'd care to take a short drive over there when you come over in June. But watch the smallest one. He is quite vicious and very quick on his feet. One of the other donkeys tried to eat one of the carrots they'd been given - the small donkey spun on his forefeet and lashed out with his hind feet, getting the larger donkey squarely in the ribs, before returning to the carrots - he wouldn't let the other two near them.
Sorry - not telling today in any sort of chronological order. Spent this morning in workshop, doing up a pair of rather handsome late georgian brass candlesticks, and tidying a brass tinder box. Cheers all, Mike.

I am sure they would love to. They would also like to visit one of my old schools under which a WWII air raid shelter was discovered in the 1980s. It's open to visitors on Saturdays...can you guess which school?
At a guess, Needham Market?
