We had an afternoon out with our granddaughter today. We went to Staunton Farm, near Havant.
The Farm hosts a number of animals that children can pet and feed (the proper food of course, supplied by the farm).
We first encountered the Llamas, these are quite graceful creatures who are delighted to take the feed pellets quite delicately from the flat of your hand.
Pygmy goats are another favourite of mine; they are such lively, bouncy little things, an absolute joy to watch. The full-sized goats are also nice as well, but one of them was a bit pushy and would force other goats away as we tried to feed them.
The problem we had today was that it was a bit too warm, and the animals weren’t really inclined to be out and about much, so whilst we saw a few, there were many more hidden away.
The setting was lovely, but I think we need to go back when it’s a bit cooler, I’m sure it will be better – certainly more comfortable for us.
