Chalford Donkey in the News again!

In the last week the local and national media decided to report on the donkeys arriving in Chalford. It is great that they find our donkeys' every move of interest. Chester and Teddy are becoming quite good and grinning at the camera! Although Chester's amorous advances towards Teddy might have to be cut. Yesterday, I found myself at 6:30 in the morning with two bedraggled donkeys in the pissing rain standing in a field with a film crew. There was a bit of a drama as the sound technician couldn't get down the drive to where the donkey's were as the trees were too low, and he was in danger of scraping the satellite dish on the top of the van. But the problem was overcome by taking the donkey's nearer the van and the very nice reporter did a grand job of leading the other donkey.

So in the last week we've been been on ITV west, BBC 1 Breakfast show, Points West, The Stroud News and Jounal, The Western Daily Press, The Llanelli Star, the Evening Post (Swansea), The Citizen (tomorrow) and Stroud Life (next Tuesday)

And they all want to come back for more when the donkey starts delivering the shopping!
