This is our latest new arrival at the farm; Porsche the Donkey with her mum Aston - Father Martin is keeping an appropriate distance in the early days. She is tearing round the grounds in high gear and is already very friendly and intriuged by all the new faces she is seeing - we also have 11 new ducklings that look just like fluffy tennis balls.
