Weardale Wilf took the Weardale bus to Harperley the other day and made his way to see our Editor, Anita. Renowned as a farmer’s wife who isn’t keen on animals, she appeared to be surrounded by them – and enjoying it too!
Perhaps, as Shakespeare once wrote that ‘she protesteth too much?’.
Wilf was made very welcome and enjoyed being introduced to the animals Anita professes to dislike – she appeared very happy to show them off. And Wilf left with half a dozen free range eggs for his supper!!
If you know of a place that would welcome a visit from Wilf, let us know.
