Three weeks have now passed since Eleanor returned to work after her maternity leave and we've been looking after Jack. I'm trying to think of something nice to do each week while I'm looking after him so last week we decided to visit Temple Newsam Home Farm. It's a place I've visited since I was a child so it was nice to introduce Jack to the animals there.
We were in luck, there were cute piglets, a highlight of any farm visit for me.
What a fancy goose, look at all those beautiful feathers.
There were different types of sheep. One thing this farm is missing is detailed information about the animals, or actually, any information at all about the animals.
Jack was very interested in the cows, and the cows were very interested in Jack, they followed us the whole way along the fence.
The donkey's are always a favourite. There's two at Temple Newsam Farm, the other one was in his shelter.
More piglets. Jack was a little unsure of being so close to them, especially the Tamworth which would insist on poking his snout through the wire. So cute.
There's lots of different types of goats at the farm, big and small, but one thing they have in common is that they all climb.
The donkey paid a little more attention to us on our way back round.
Bless this cow getting comfy in the hay. This is a Vaynol, one of the UK's rarest breeds of cattle. You can read more about them, and see more of the farm, if you click on the link at the start of this post.
I think Jack was a little overawed by it all, but at least he's seen all the animals he sings about on Old MacDonald's Farm.
