Feeding the 5,000 - again

 A slight exaggeration but I am feeding 9 equids, 3 geese and several goslings, and at least fifty deer on my nine acres of land at the moment. 

We have been told that there are estimated to be over 6,000 deer on Forestry England land on this side of the A31 alone. Whenever it is quiet, they cross over onto grazing land and settle down to eat and sleep. They were surprised by my early morning visit.

At long last there has been a pleasant day. It is Theoden and Dave's last day in the second winter field (as it became) and they will be reuniting with Jack and the girls tomorrow. Meanwhile Pie and Henrietta will be keeping my friend Nathalie's pony, Fleur company, following the extremely sad loss of her own field companion.

Good news again from Melanie about Snippet and Mulibwanji who look so much better having come in off the Forest early this spring. Snippet has become a beautiful colour in her summer coat.
