Every year children from our Grandaughter's school come to visit the lambs and our other animals. It is surprising that some children, even living in Somerset , have never touched a horse or stroked a lamb. We encourage a hands-on approach and the delight on their faces when they actually bottle feed a new born lamb is wonderful to see. They enjoy themselves so much in the fresh air that generally by the time their coach has reached the bottom of the lane on their way back to school usually half of them have fallen asleep. Here are just a few pictures from some of the visits.
 
    
 
 Older students also visit us. Here Dan is enjoying animal husbandry working towards his Bronze Badge for the
 Duke of Edinburgh's Award 
  
 
 Some of our lovely 'Thank you' cards received from the children. 
 
  
  
'Children' of all ages enjoy feeding the lambs.
