Jimmer and Sarah's Farm

We went to stay with Jimmer, Sarah and Rory tonight. Angus was away on Scout Camp. They live on the Sarah's family farm near Mudford in Somerset....

Our first job was to herd the cows from the field into the milking parlour....Come On Then!!!!

All in....good job....

Inside the milking shed...

Rory showed us some of the chickens, in front of the farmhouse...

Joe met the farm bull.....'Legend'....he was scary...

Rory introduced the kids to the farm cats....

Next job was feeding the calves.  They use the milk from the cows that have recently given birth...

The calves sucking the milk from Joe's fingers :-)

Dinner time....

On the way back Jimmer and Sarah's farm cottage (in the background) Joe met another farm cat...the feisty one!

Sarah cooked up a fantastic chilli feast....

In the morning we found some more chickens and went egg collecting...

Got one....The eggs are sold in the farm shop...

Lisa and Joe fell in love with the guinea pigs...

What a great visit...thanks guys....
