My first trip away from home... (By Archie)

[severnmiles]

Well, mum1 gave us our breccie and then my mummy and me went for a snooze, mum1 suddenly appears calling us down to the gate, so mummy and me get up and go galloping down to the gate, we went into the yard and then mummy went into this big metal box, two people pushed my bottom so I thought I'd better follow mummy, it wasn't bad, nice bed of shavings and food so I didn't complain. Next thing I know, the funny metal box moves, so off we go on this never ending journey, anyway, I took some pics for you all on the way... here they are..

North Wales is alot wilder than where I live!!

A random bridge!

Anyway, when we got there we came out of the little box and there were lots of new friends to meet, mummy and me went into a stable next to a big scary man (I think he fancied mummy) and then I saw my daddy...he definately fancied my mummy, I think he thought his luck was in. Then mum1 disappeared for a while, probably talking cos she natters for England, then I thought we would be off home.

Here's my daddy...

The view.....

One of the big scary men...

And a very noisy squealy man...

But then it happened

they took mummy away and left me in the box next to the big scary man (stallion!), I could see my daddy from my bedroom but my mummy was gone....

They feed me lots and fuss me though...so its not all bad!

I didn't get any

. Jen didn't call once when she got out of the yard and she's as happy as a pig in muck, though I'm sure I could see a tinge of sadness in her eyes yesterday, Archie had become such a sweet little man.

Anne emailed to say....

"Archie is fine, never called at all once jennie was out of earshot. he ate all his tea and cleared up all his hay before his supper at ten. He is a lovely lad ,and we are both chuffed with him , you have done a really good job with him. we will keep you posted on his development."

So thats lovely, he can't be missing Jen that much.

Can't wait for pics of him growing up
