Moving the goats

 

Until recently, we had two of our milking nannies and one of the kids on our Nearside allotment. Penny, one of the nannies, is our best milker but we have been waiting for her to stop lactating at which point we would move them to the farm to be with the other goats over the winter. Alas, she just won't stop milking so we decided to take her to the farm anyway along with the other two and put them in the nannies' paddock. The milking operation has therefore moved with them. The Nearside allotment was starting to get too muddy and with the autumn rains already with us, the mud was set to get worse.
