December 2022 - Super day out with Donkeys, Burger and Lights
Jade and I had a brilliant day out a week before Christmaswent to the Donkey Sanctuary. We met loads of donkeys and some very nice people ... and a cat!
Saturday the weather was great - it may have been snowing in other parts of the country, but on the Island it was..... great - well, maybe a bit cold!
At the moment, there are 147 donkeys in the sanctuary and most of them were in the big barns.
We wanted to get up close and personal with one of the donkeys, but we were a bit scared in case the donkey wandered off and took us with him. Problem solved, Kitty put us on a donkey for a photo call and held onto us - just in case!
It was very cold, there was ice in some of the fields
We found some amazing planters outside the shop and had a chance to get on a donkey we could trust!
We found an unusual visitor to the donkey sanctuary - a cat in a hat - in a hat!
All this donkey spotting made us hungry, so we went down the road to "Smokin' Jack's" for an "All you want for Christmas" burger, complete with candy cane, pig in blanket, sage and onion stuffing mayo, fried Christmas pudding and red cabbage with cranberry sauce, Lush!Well, we didn't think we could eat a whole rack of ribs!
On the way home we went to see (probably) the best decorated house on the Island.
