Charlotte, Sophie and Rachel brought their grandparents to The Gables this afternoon. They had heard about Lexy and wanted to meet her and, of course, they wanted to see Wiggle who they last saw in the summer holidays. “Hasn’t he grown!” they exclaimed. And he has, but he is still as friendly as ever and the girls want to buy him for themselves and keep him in their back garden. Their grandparents do not think that the parents of the girls would agree to such a plan and nor do I. The girls also had fun in the polytunnel stroking and cuddling the chickens. I said that if there is any news of Beattie and another calf then I will email their grandma and they can pop in again before they go back to school.
