Liberté des Anes (English)

hello everyone

just a reminder for you to book your place at our lunch and vide grenier with loads of books, lovely clothes and donated bric a brac on thursday 3rd october at lavolvene, 82150 belveze.  we hope to start to eat at 1 pm so we will open our shop from 12 onwards,  we need you to mail us to confirm you can come to enjoy our tasty lunch of QUICHE, QAKE AND QOFFEE, wine included with delicious home made food for 15 euros.

if you have been following the news of our latest arrivals you will be interested to see new photos.

firstly bourro looking much better than on arrival.   

then a photo of coccinelle when we collected her, this was only about a month before her baby was born and as you can see there is certainly no sign of any baby in her tummy here, certainly her hooves have been trimmed perfectly now.

and lastly petronille, her rubs came from when she travelled before we collected her as we use a piece of foam to stop our animals rubbing and injuring themselves.

we look forward to hearing back from you and thank you in advance for your support for all the donkeys here, we can only continue to keep everyone healthy and happy through your generosity.

dear everyone

i am sorry that we will have to cancel our lunch scheduled for thursday 26th sept. Christina has some illness in the family and wont be able to cook for us all.  She hopes to invite you on your journey on The Orient Express at a future date .. watch this space.

In the mean time we will be holding a different type of lunch on thursday 3rd October and i do hope you can all come along.  This lunch will take the theme of QUICHE, QAKE AND QOFFEE !!  and we will also be holding an enormous Vide Grenier to sell all the lovely items of clothing, books and bric a brac which have been donated to the donkeys for resale.  we have an enormous amount here which we hope to sell on that day. all items will be at bargain prices.  bring along anything on the day that you wish to donate !

Please support us by coming on thursday 3rd october, the price for this meal will be 15 euros, including wine, all proceeds to the donkeys.  We will offer you delicious quiches with salad, potato salad and wine, cakes and coffee to follow. 

We have another new donkey in called Denise who had terribly deformed hooves on arrival.  Our farrier came yesterday to trim her hooves and she is so much better.  Unfortunaely for her, when she arrived, she had a full udder and was distressed so i tracked back to where she came from to see if we could buy her foal which she had obviously just left behind, as she was searching everywhere for her, but through a dealer we learnt that her previous owners wanted to keep the foal and get rid of the mother !! she is grazing with 2 other female donkeys for company and making progress day by day, although she is still looking around, so sad but nothing more i can do for her except keep her happy !!

hope to hear back from you all soon.

Thank you to all of you who came along for our recent lunch, 50 people in all !! Many people wrote in to thank us for the lovely meal and different menu !  

Our next lunch will be held on Thursday 26th September and it will take the form of a journey on the Orient Express with food from each country you pass through on the train !  I will send out the menu soon but please keep a space in your diary for that date.

Those of you who met Petronille, our new donkey, know that she has only been with us for a month.  At the same time that we saved her we also collected a small, old, thin dark brown donkey. Christina kindly said she would take her to live with her 2 other donkeys.  Well yesterday morning imagine Christina's surprise and delight when she went out to find a tiny donkey foal who had been born during the night !!  Here are photos of NIGELLA who we think has been aptly christened.  Thanks to your support this little old donkey Coccinelle was saved and also the life of her baby.

Thank you for all your continued support .... menu to follow.
