One difficulty of rural life that I didn’t anticipate is being offered animals left and right. Kittens of course; you can’t stop at a farm to buy cheese without being offered a kitten or two. The guy ringing up my plants at the plant nursery asked if I would also be interested in a senior horse. I visited a llama farm two years ago and went home with a donkey and my mum was like ‘You never talked about getting a donkey, did you mean to get a donkey?’ of course not!! it was an accidental donkey. And today, for the second time (in six months) a neighbour (not the same one) offered me free baby goats. Again I had to say no. Is my will being tested? Like St Peter? I will deny the goats three times then hear the rooster crow? Jesus is a free baby goat?
