Our Coombe Mill Break - Day 8 (Departure)

Today we leave Coombe Mill. We have had a lovely time here.Its been such a peaceful time. Coombe Mill is in such gorgeous surroundings. All you hear is the sounds of the birds and the running river. Occasionally you’d hear the donkey making its “Eee-Orrr” from across the way. We checked out just before 10am. [...]

It was the last animal feed run of the week today so we alldecided to go. Sadly J was playing up and misbehaving. It took us a while toget him ready and he was pre-warned to behave or he would be going straightback to the cottage. Unfortunately, shortly after we had reached the pigs J [...]

J and I went on the animal food run this morning. K wasjoining us, but in typical 4yr old style she didn’t pick her feet up whenwalking and went splat, face down into a pile of mud! This meant that I had totake her back to the cottage where P was with A and he [...]

This morning we headed out on the feeding run again with Farmer Nick and the other families. K was first to “drive” this time and really enjoyed it. All the children have been really good at taking it in turns to “drive”. We took the same route as yesterday, but today we had an extra stop [...]

The children woke around 7am (new time as the clocks went back). The long journey and all that playing last night must have taken its toll on them. Fiona had told us at booking in yesterday about the feeding run with Farmer Nick at 9am each morning.We decided to head on out and join Farmer Nick and [...]

Coombemill day 1 2

We left home early on the Saturday as we knew it would be a fair old drive to CoombeMill in St Breward, Cornwall. We decided to stop off at Paultons Theme Park on the way as we had brought tickets a few months ago but hadn’t got round to using them. They were due to [...]
