Hear me out. Apparently weeds are like donkey junk food. So where we see a field of spiky, stinging nasties to be avoided, a donkey sees a huge fast food menu. Tastier and higher in sugar than their farm recommended diet of grass or hay. That's why three goodgymmers found themselves ripping and digging up a whole field of weeds. Well, clearing what we could in a couple of intensely sunny hours anyway. Our mission: to save Hermione and her friends from themselves, and piling on the pounds. So, while the nation was firing up their barbecues ahead of the euros football final, we were confiscating the donkey snacks. Look at Hermione snaffling what she could get away with right beside us. We said hi to the goats briefly, then it was home to get the chips and dips out.
