PUDDICOMBE FARMS

MAMA AND THE FRITH TOOK OUR FIRST FIELD TRIP WITH FRITH'S SCHOOL LAST WEEK.

WE WENT TO A WORKING FARM CALLED PUDDICOMBE, WHERE WE TOOK RIDES IN A BIG HAYWAGON, AND A LITTLE TRAIN.

WE ALSO GOT TO PICK OUR OWN APPLES FROM TINY LITTLE ORGANIC APPLE TREES. FRITH WAS VERY CONCERNED THAT WE GET JUST THE RIGHT APPLES. IN THE END, WE DID.

WE ALSO VISITED WITH SOME CHICKENS, AND PEANUTGOATS, AND COWS AND MULES AND DONKIES AND HORSES.

THE MULE WAS THE BIGGEST HIT. WE FED HIM OUR APPLE CORES. HE APPEARED TO BE GRATEFUL. AT LEAST HE DIDN'T SLIME US, LIKE HE DID TO FRITH'S TEACHER LOUISE (THAT'S LOUISE ON THE RIGHT, IN THE SCHOOL PICTURE FURTHER DOWN).
