We've had a much quieter week this week and I think we've been recovering from the show as we've all been feeling a bit tired! The really good news is that the show raised £1600 for The Brooke, so everybody had a great day out and helped lots of good causes at the same time. We've been writing our thank you cards to everyone who donated items to us!
We were delighted to meet Angela on Tuesday who came to visit us with a view to possibly volunteering. She's had lots of experience with donkeys and was a volunteer for 5 years at a Donkey Sanctuary in Ireland...we hope Angela will come back and see us again. Some of the bigger charities in our area have such strict rules, Angela was finding she couldn't even get near a donkey(!)...or the mucking out(!)...which is rather frustrating when you know you can do a lot to help.
If we are really lucky we might add a little extra to our show fundraising total - 2 of the saddles that we took to the show but didn't sell are currently on ebay...fingers crossed they will raise a bit extra for us!
