The last stop was seal island and she explained it was not the best time to see the seals as they were trying to find food after the winter. We did managed to see one though which finished off a lovely trip.”

We rode the tractor to the field of around 20-30 cows, many calves. We were able to get close and pet the calves. We learned a lot and really enjoyed this.”
