Have a nice trip! I hope the kid can get some dental work done at the castle. What a well-trained goat.
Elephant suggested we converse with each other, so here goes. I think the Goat looks very surprised. I might be too because it looks as though it is being asked to step in to a picture frame.
Last weekend we began training our whether goat to driving (I secretly want to save all the male goat kids, build a grand wagon and have a team of them drive me all around). Michael the goat kept turning his head to look at me with the same puzzled expression.
How cute! So it really is true that goats can be taught to pull wagons 🙂

Oh you two – chatting to make me (and yourselves) happy! Who knew so much about goats and carts – Middlemay Farm of course! You have got to love a woman who dreams of having a super goat team (and who is a wonderful writer)!!
So nice,
Elephant
I was enchanted by that post!
I love the goat’s expression. But what’s that? A dead bird on the boy’s back? A crow by the look of it. The plot thickens.
Yes, it does look like a crow – that’s what I think too!
Away I go,
Elephant
I love this so much! Such simple lines with such a pleasing outcome.
Interesting art work. I Am left what was on the artists mind at that moment. I guess it can be tough to draw detail with a quill as I have used on. A pained event.
Dropped the E one one sorry.
