Tregragon Farm

Keith & I headed out around 10:30am and arrived at lunch time just a few minutes before Dale & Lauren - good timing. We spent the afternoon relaxing enjoying Hester and watching her cook (she wouldn't let us help). After lunch we bundled up in our finest attire and rubber boots and went to visit the cows. Mike & Andrew gave us the tour. We really enjoyed it. Before we knew it, it was milking time. Keith, Dale, Olivia and I headed to the milking parlour to find Andrew. He had already started the process and Keith, Dale and I were keen to jump right in.

Before long the 3 of us were into all of it - preparing the cows for the milking machine, putting on the machine and applying the moisturizer to them when finished. We stuck around for awhile and had fun. By the time we were finished my coat looked like I had wiped a cow's behind! It wasn't very pretty and it didn't smell any better. Haha. They are so full of mud and everything else that's it's difficult to stay clean. I didn't care, I had fun.

We spent the evening enjoying a fantastic supper Hester prepared, drinking wine and chatting. We all hit the hay early after our day of fresh air.

I was able to get one photo uploaded:
