All cows and ponies fine today

What a lovely sunny day - Castle Bottom really does look glorious in the sunshine! Checked all the cows and ponies today, and they all seemed very healthy and inquisitive. Jack was behaving himself too, although we are still trying to arrange for him to be replaced with a calmer horse, no dates confirmed as yet. Before we had to drag ourselves away from the site we also did a reptile survey (lots of adders and slow worms about!), fixed the lifted board on the boardwalk, patched up the broken gate at the corral, and painted the steps on the boardwalk to make them more visible (til we ran out of paint!). Here is a picture of one of the cows coming to have a sniff of our lunch and one of the slow worms (legless lizards) we found under a reptile tin.
