Valley of Rocks

...and I have been on a goat hunt.  Of course I took Dad along too, he needed me to protect him!

it didn't take me long to spot some...they're in the photo above...can you see them!  Don't worry I got mum to take pics of a group of them we came across

look - dad is pointing them out, just in case mum didn't spot them!

this encounter was at the Valley of Rocks, a place we visit sometimes - a valley surrounded by rocks - obviously you guessed that from the name

  no fencing to keep the goats contained, but each end of this valley there are cattle grids to stop them getting further away.

I think they were as amazed by me as I was by them!

till next time

Visiting Lynmouth

From my last post and the Valley of Rocks, here are some photos of my visit down the hill to Lynmouth that same day....

 

I ask Dad to lift me up but it takes a bit of persuasion...

....it works in the end....

Thanks Dad

.....I'll just check that mum is watching...

I enjoyed that visit.....

and we will go there again when I'll get mum to take more photos

Have a great weekend

love william

Goats at the Valley of Rocks

We went over to Lynton and Lynmouth today and took a walk around the Valley of Rocks.  It's full of the most interesting smells you could imagine.....but to start with I heard something over the wall

and discovered these chaps

the Wild Goats of the Valley of Rocks..... I don't think they should have been in this field.  The local residents tend to be very upset at times when the goats get into their allotments or gardens.  Further down the road we found another herd of them in the car park

and mum did a little video, although she apologises for filming into the sun, obviously not ideal, but the goats would have made off sooner ....

they are quite inquisitive and when I get closer to them instead of running away some of them stop to look at me, but they never get really close

and when we left and walked back into Lynton we saw one balanced on the top of a bank

next time I'll show you some pictures of Lynmouth which is the twin town

to Lynton
