He looks so happy,the birds look happy, and you do too. What a treat …… For us all
Thanks so much – it was great!
Even if they don’t remember it all, you did a good thing today and gave a lot of people joy.
They might make it a regular thing which would be fantastic!
Good to hear. You can be the hostess but not worry about the logistics of getting everyone there and home again.Do they take responsibility for snacks or do you?
joy joy joy down in my heart for you!
You are so great to feel this – thank you!
What a lovely idea, and what a beautiful day for it. 🙂
Perfect weather and all went smoothly!
What a lovely idea, and what a beautiful day for it!
Might be able to do this more often fingers crossed!
I agree with ‘janechese’, they may not always remember in the traditional sense but they can still feel joy, goodness and kindness and if that’s all they have left, give them bucketfuls!
Yes!
what a great idea you had. it looks like it was a success for all
I hope we can have a ‘sequel’!
So glad it went well – the birds can always put on the perfect floor show!
Yes – the birds were a real hit!
Looks like a wonderful outing for the ‘Boys’ – hope it will be the first of many.
(& I love the photo of the turkeys).
Apparently they are going to do it fortnightly!
Beautiful
what a treat for everyone involved — and you have such built-in entertainment with your birds
Oh Julie that looks so good… what a wonderful idea…
Ah, wonderful!
What a great idea this was. I love the photos! Is it going to be a regular thing?
Every two weeks!!!
Wonderful …. nice weather and loads of men … *smile – splendid idea and everybody had a good time I can see. Will they be visiting the farm every time for now on ???? I think it was very special for Ant – it’s his farm they all visit. I bet he was proud over the farm and you inside.
Yes Ants was really proud of the farm and that was wonderful! The staff told me they will come again and maybe make it a regular thing – yeeha!
Julie, that’s fantastic news …. I know it will be so important to Ant – even if he are not able to show it .. I know his heart is bursting of pride over what he have together with you and Ming. And it will brighten up yours and his day too. I really hope that will be the case.
Thanks so much Viveka – I am so glad to have met you!
That goes both way … pity it’s 22 hours between us.
Yup!
That’s good news! Will they be visiting again?
Yes – it might be a regular thing!
Great!
That was a good idea.
Wonderful idea! It must of done him the world of good. You look so happy too… Wonderful memory!

Looks like everyone had a great time. The sun was shining and it looks like it was quite warm. The men will have enjoyed their trip today. Everything is so much better when the sun is shining.
(It has been bucketing with rain all day here, but your happy pictures have lifted my spirits. Hope all the men enjoyed their visit today.
What a great idea!
What a wonderful gift you gave them, Julie! I love this.
I hope it will happen again this week.
Great idea!
