Today we went to the Rare Breeds Centre in Ashford. Nik's mum, Emily and I. We hopped into my little car this morning and after some navigational errors (we blame the RAC) we made it. The sky remained dry for us until we got in the car to come home thankfully and a fine time was had.

This is clearly the best time of year to go if you are thinking about it as it was full of newly born animals. Tiny little piglets, baby goats and lambs. Enough to make you go soft! They have pens that you can go into (the goat one obviously needed a visit from me) a trail through the woods and a small rope climb course that Emily and I did our best to negotiate (Emily doing significantly better than I!)

So thanks to Val and Emily for the trip...here are some pics if you are interested...

(I have rearranged the Gallery somewhat - sorry if you are lost!)
