Animals bring smiles on a summer afternoon

We had something a little bit different recently and had goats, pigs, sheep and other animals in our back garden!

​Mill Cottage Farm Experience spend their time taking their brood to bring smiles to many people, and on last Friday afternoon we welcomed them here at The Dower House, much to the delight of residents, staff, friends and family alike of all ages.

We were lucky enough to have lovely weather and so were able to spend all the available time with the different animals, with many having cuddles with Guinea Pigs, Rabbits (young and old) and ducks.
