Hello everyone

I’m really delighted to thank you for your donation for 500 euros which you've sent to help us here at Liberte des Anes.

It has been a particularly difficult few months with rain, rain, and rain, but I must add mostly drizzle here not the heavier rain experienced further north than the 82 !  Not nice to listen to before going outside to care for everyone here and muck out, I’m outside for at least  5 hours each day.

The sun has just come out and it cheers all of us here, including the mood of the donkeys, they hate wind and rain, tolerate the cold but love the sun !!

Thank you so much, our donkeys are eating about 290 euros of hay each and every two weeks for over half the year.  Then this weekend we collect more barley straw to add to their diet.  I have 5 donkeys on extra cereal feeds and spend a fortune on Auboise which is the litter for their bedding.

I can’t use straw as it’s just too heavy for me to cope with mucking out so many and this litter also makes it easier on the older donkeys when getting up.

Hope you’ll pass my thanks on to all your helpers.

Thanks so much again, opening your letter has just made my day
