baby donkeys and puppies

'what's this all about?' - I was asked so many times on Friday as the public watched act after act perform behind the bus station in Keighley! I was on after the Bingley Bell Ringers. The wind had got up and was swirling around, carrying all the sound away. If you can't hear bells you're gonna struggle to hear a harp alas ...! We did our best so hope it sounded okay! There was quite a crowd and it was good to hear live music in Keighley.

All is well on the farm. The baby donkey, Dodge, and mum, Flossy, are thriving. Flossy had her feet clipped and is looking very sprightly again. Dodge puts on a show for any passing walker charging around and rearing up on his hind legs. We keep going on Facebook to see photos of him taken by complete strangers!

Jack came for the weekend. Mist, his puppy went for her first proper walk on a lead ... well actually we keep forgetting to buy one so we used a bungee! She also came with us in the car to Sainsburys ... didn't think much to it at first as she shot under the car but Jack coaxed her out and she got used to it eventually.

My next gig ... Limetree Festival ... Sunday afternoon ... see you there?
