Donkey Race Night (With Horse Videos)

The hard working Ivybridge Donkey Centre (Donkey Assisted Therapy) PFA (Parents and Friends Association) fund raisers and Donkey Centre Staff organised a Race Night which took place at the Centre on Saturday 6th October 2012. If you have never been to one, they are great fun and everyone can take part. I would like to assure you that no donkeys took part (as you will probably know, that to get a donkey to actually run is almost impossible!). [Read more…] about Donkey Race Night (With Horse Videos)

Chocolate and Paddy Join The Ivybridge EST Centre

The Donkey Sanctuary (DAT) Ivybridge has two young donkeys Chocolate and Paddy, who have come to join us to replace some our donkeys who have had to go back to Sidmouth due to ill health. They originally came from Ireland but are now happy down here in Devon. Both are just under 4 years old and as they have not been handled very much, there is a lot of training to be done to get them all ready for the special needs children to ride.

Black Sea P & O Cruise On Arcadia September 2012 My 20 Day Diary

Black Sea P & O Cruise On Arcadia September 2012 My 20 Day Diary

I have just returned from a much needed holiday on board the P & O Ship Arcadia to the Black Sea. I thought that it might be of interest, not only for me to look back on, but also for other cruisers, or potential cruisers to keep a day to day diary of each day of the 20 day holiday. Naturally I have kept each day fairly short and have not gone into too much detail, but hope it gives a little insight into what being on board a cruise ship is like.

This is the 7th cruise that Steve and I have been on. Now I love cruising, as I do not like flying but Steve is not that keen for a number of reasons, the main one being that once you have reached a port, you have a very short time to see it and then it is back on board and off again. This actually suits me fine, as long as we have had a little taster of that particular Country, bought the fridge magnet then off to the next.

A cruise is as relaxing as you want to make it, or it could be full to the brim with on on board activities, although many of them are not our cup of tea. There are also guest speakers who come on board, and if it is on a subject that you are interested in, then they are well worth attending.

We went on the Arcadia a mid size ship in the P & O fleet. We have been on her before, but she is not our favourite – Aurora is by far. Anyway, I will give you a little bit of detail about the main parts of the ship, so when I refer to them you will know what I am talking about.

Chester A Show Cocker Spaniel Hearing Dog Puppy Comes to Stay

I am a volunteer for Hearing Dogs for Deaf People and look after these puppies when their full time socialisers go on holiday instead of putting the puppies into kennels. I had the pleasure of looking after Chester a 9 month old black and white Show Cocker Spaniel for two weeks. He arrived on 9th July 2012, complete with all his baggage that a puppy needs for a two week stay. [Read more…] about Chester A Show Cocker Spaniel Hearing Dog Puppy Comes to Stay
