点评:Liz and I spent an afternoon at The Wensleydale Experience at Swinithwaite Hall Farm. We were welcomed by Bridget and given a brief resume of the activities ahead for us. These included helping to feed the pigs, lambs, goats around the home farm. With Bridget’s assistant, Jim. We went off to take some feed to the Highland cattle in far off fields, where we found the cows and their calves and the bull, Sid, contentedly grazing. Later we acted as cattle drivers of old taking other highlands up to higher pasture to join with the rest of their herd. Great fun, slowly rising up the valley side with Jim in the Land Rover in front and Bridget and I behind encouraging the cows. Much bellowing when they met up with rest of herd. Spectacular views across the dale on a perfect day. Back at the farm Bridget had prepared a superb afternoon cream tea with freshly made scones- yum yum!
Our two hosts could not have been better hosts. They were fun and informative. A grand day out.
Big shout out to Bridget and Jim. Many thanks
Stuart & Liz
翻译:我和莉兹在斯威尼斯韦特庄园农场的温斯利代尔体验活动(The Wensleydale Experience)度过了一个下午。布里奇特热情地接待了我们,并简要介绍了接下来的活动安排。这些活动包括帮忙喂农场周围的猪、羊和山羊。我们和布里奇特的助手吉姆一起,去远处的田野里给高地牛送饲料,在那里我们看到了母牛和它们的小牛犊,还有公牛席德,它们正心满意足地吃草。之后,我们像往常一样,把其他高地牛赶到更高的牧场,加入其他牛群。我们玩得很开心,吉姆开着路虎车在前面,我和布里奇特跟在后面,给牛群打气,沿着山谷缓缓上升。当它们与其他牛群汇合时,牛群发出了阵阵哞哞的叫声。天气很好,山谷的景色美不胜收。回到农场,布里奇特准备了美味的下午茶和新鲜的烤饼——真是太美味了!
我们的两位主人真是太棒了。他们既风趣幽默,又知识渊博。很棒的一天。
非常感谢Bridget和Jim。
