Tim here. Oooh, me and mummy is IDS again! Uncle Pants did eat us another hole in the hedge and me and mummy did sneak through. Only Lucy did find us not at 6am as we didn't go up for breakfast. She did come looking with a little torch. Mummy said "shut your eyes and she won't see us" but I did peep at the wrong moment and she did spot my eyes in the pitch black. We did get captured but was in a mess as mummy had got Mr Eric's electric cow fence wrapped round her legs. It took ages to get home. We did get no breakfast cos everyone else had finished and Lucy phoned Sue and told her we were for sale If I is on the sales list I IS NOT GOING!!! I did then get beaten up by Auntie Choc and Uncle Isaac cos we were all shut out of the field by Mr Eric's and that's the only one with any grass. Mr Eric said he's never known any stock to go through that hedge in 50 years, so we is clever if not popular!!! On Wednesday morning Mummy and I were loaded into the trailer, Uncle Isaac said we were going to the pie factory, is that good?? I said I like pies, especially apple ones, but he laughed and said did I like kn*b pies?? Uncle Pants told him not to be mean! And off we went.......................................... To be continued!

Lucy don't you dare turn Tim into pies We will never, ever forgive you. Will you have to fence the entire hedgeline to keep the clever little devils in? Or maybe extract all of Vanty's teeth Hope you find a solution. Having walk-about pones who like to visit the neighbours in the pitch black is no fun. Been there, done that, etc.... Looking forward to Tim's next installment!

Tim may have a rib or two but Amy certainly doesn't! My money's on Amy walking through the hedge and Tim following, when it springs back the others think the holes not big enough! The translation of Isaac's kn*b pie is "Tim pie" so you can stop gagging Sue! I will need to electric the whole blurdi hedge so am working out how to get the lecci down there as it's the opposite end of the farm and all my tracks are down at the moment. It'll kill me taking batteries down that far unless it drys up. As Eric's field has just been reseeded he thinks they'll keep barging through as the grass is much sweeter. I was so mad on Tuesday morning as I don't do early starts (even though I have to Mon-Wed), I had woken up at 3am with a splitting headache and not got back to sleep by 5.30 when I had to get up, I had a hangover from the valentines day red wine my kind husband had provided with the meal he'd cooked, it was wet, muddy and miserable. It was too dark to see what damage they'd done so had to phone and apologise without knowing what havoc had been created. Luckily Amy hadn't damaged her legs. On the plus side, at least they are not gardening ponies! Poor you Alison! I now have a very thin looking hedge in a few places into my wood so that will be the next break out I suspect, but at least that's mine! Do bears sh*t in the woods? Most probably! ;D At least next year I will have more winter grazing with the departure of Jenny's pones. Roll on spring!

Voodoo Tim - have just spent half an hour trying to catch an escaped, galloping, braying donkey Only loose on my land though, which I suppose is a bonus. This is because I am attempting to relocate my donkeys ribs by restricting their grazing. They are not happy chaps and clearly plotting with Tim and Amy I have a long run-out from my mains energiser to one of our paddocks. Because lead-out cable costs a fortune, I just ran a string of electro-rope through some alkathene piping along the ground. Would that be possible Lucy?

We are planning a double electric fence with a gap between to keep Harvey and Frankie apart! And lots of stakes very, very close together to keep Lily in.

They've not come back from the pie factory yet! If they are looking for more fillings I have a stringy old pony who is pushing his luck at the moment

I will readily add flavour to the Tim Pie with one post-smashing Angora goat buck, and one evil gander. I have solved my escaping donkey problem by putting the little s*d in the chicken pen which has sheep-netting to 4ft6inches Tim is very quiet. We need PROOF OF LIFE
