Pet animals and the old and the young

from w
An event for Seniors' Week involved the elderly in a nursing home in Newcomb, small children and their mums and a host of pet animals from Serenity Farm. A pony, sheep, goats, ducks, chooks, rabbits and guinea pigs. And a little pink pig running around. In a sunny but sheltered verandah at the back of the nursing home the elderly residents had gathered, sitting in their chairs or wheelchairs, as they watched or held little creatures. It was a lovely idea. And I met a couple of people from our church, one a visitor and one a resident. Here are some photos I took there.
