to market

To be honest, I'm not usually a fan of markets. Or I didn't used to be anyway. I used to be dragged along to them when I was younger by my mum and my elder sisters and I'd trail along behind them looking at all the 'old stuff' and homemade soaps and things I had no interest in. Lately though, I've been to a couple of fantastic markets and have really enjoyed myself - except for the fact that I've wanted to buy something at most stalls but don't have the money to do that. I went to the Gisborne market about a week ago and was pleasantly surprised at how much it had improved since those days when I used to get 'dragged along'. Especially when I came upon a little enclosure that was set up with a whole heap of baby animals. It was sort of like a petting farm, but there were certain animals that you could also buy.

I sent a picture of this little guy to my parents - but unfortunately got no response (not that I was surprised). But isn't he just adorable?! Just to give you an idea of how small he was, there were a couple of ducks (with long necks though) that were taller than him.

I just love baby sheep and goats, they're just so adorable. And...I think that's a chicken behind the goat....maybe......lol

I just love this guys 'hair-do' and had to take a photo. Isn't it just hilarious?! I've never seen a duck like that before.

Haha this is just how I feel right now. But on the day it was in the afternoon and they were looking at closing up so I think all the animals had had a full day.
Don't you just love looking at baby animals though? I could just sit and watch (and snuggle) with them all day.
What about you guys? Do you love animals? Do you have any farm animals as pets at all?
