Raving about Farmstays!

I know it's been a while since my last blog - and that's just not really how they are supposed to work, but I've really had nothing much to say.

But now....

I need to rave about Farmstays - we have just returned from Kyneton (only an hour from Melbourne now) - the place we stayed at was http://www.laurimarglenfarmstay.com.au/

Our hosts were Janet and Eric - that and paddocks full of llamas, deer ( couple of different types) an alpaca or two - some stags. Did I mention cows, pigs, donkeys, goats and chickens too.

Every day Farmer Eric let us help out with the feeding and general well being of the animals - Tessa loved collecting the eggs and feeding the alapaca and llamas from her hand.

For me the highlight was a pig who we were told was pregnant - next lunchtime she had given birth to 12 piglets and was just giving them their first feed - 1 hour old piglets are just so cute!


So in summary...

If you've got kids, probably older than 18 months old, or you really like animals maybe you should check out a farmstay.

I'm sure Eric and Janet would be pleased to see you.

Another day almost done.

Going out to my best mates place for dinner tonight.

Hoping our kids will behave after their first day in creche.

Oh it's so exciting!

I'm a n00b at this blogging stuff.

Still can't work out why anyone would care about what I say......
