    They are so beautiful as though they have with theyr'e quiet demeanour a powerful knowledge? Probably having a good Donkey-like chuckle when fed grass and stuff from us? what a life.........

    I live around 10 miles away , it is a magical place and I used to deliver food for the Donkeys and what really struck me they do riding for children with disabilities of varying degrees, it's absolutely fantastic to see these kids smiling and laughing, they may not have a lot to look forward to but the Donkeys are so calm, you really should see it .

    Those donkeys are proper sweethearts❤! I couldn't agree more with you when you said about humans role as caregivers using our intelligence to help look after animals as they are so precious. As a child I lived on a small holding and thought this is what humans do, they care for animals. This dream was short lived when I realised mum did it for commercial gain which she had to as she single handedly reared 4 children on her own. But I never lost the magic of that idea that the purpose of our lives is to look after other things.
    Is brilliant that you highlight the center, I imagine this helps greatly spread the word about these wonderful animals and the work the center does for them. What a beautiful place to visit. Such an impressive array of flowers. It was nice to see proper meadow plants and grasses growing for the donkeys to eat. Something that is sadly so missing these days. You can't be a good meadow.
    Many believe that when our pets pass over they become our animal guides, many animals see spectrums of light that we can't so I wouldn't be at all surprise if the greyhounds you met felt the presence of Miss Nancy particularly the one that chased after you. Their perception is so much greater than our own.
    If that ever becomes a reality that someone sets up a greyhound sanctuary where they can run about to their hearts content I'm definitely volunteering there! A wonderful idea.
    Well done for having the courage to make this trip and to stay over on your own in the van. It feels like you've opened a new chapter where you can create further wonderful memories.
    You mentioned that you got up late, did you find it difficult to sleep in the van? Or was this more general insomnia?
    As always it was nice to see Tori, you do brighten up our lives with your videos. So thank you. 🙏

      It must have been pretty incredible living on a small holding, as you say though when you get a bit older and realise more peoples intention or reasons that must colour things. I think it’s true though, aren’t we at our best caring for others?
      Meadows are beautiful i so agree, those donkeys have a very lovely setting they are the lucky ones. I wonder if Miss Nancy is there. I don’t really know what I believe to be honest, sometimes I think I feel her nose by my hand, sometimes I feel so alone she just be a million miles away. I think people would like to visit a greyhound sanctuary where they could actually seethe dogs properly running, and wouldn’t that be a nicer way to appreciate the incredible speed and agility than keeping them in cages and forcing them onto tracks.
      Hmm i slept middling, depends where i am in the van but also as it had been so long that didn’t help. It was lovely and quiet and i always feel super safe on a campsite so that helps in general, but I’m no stranger to insomnia. Thank you ☺️

      @@missnancysdayoff It was definitely a delic place to live. I so wish we still had that place. Now with what I've learned on how to grow vegetables I could really seen myself with a polytunnel, some fruit trees..
      I often used to think that the world's problems to be sorted out if one person made sure just to look after one other person then eventually everybody would be cared for. Of course the world is a lot different but it made sense to me when I was young.
      One thing I did which probably sounds a bit creepy when my dog passed away, I trimmed some of her fur and kept it wrapped up securely. One, it made me feel more attached to her even with the passage of time. Two, I read an article where Barbara Streisand got her elderly dog cloned and I thought maybe from the hair I could one day clone my Angie and get her back.
      There's a really good TH-cam video done by the BBC that shows in slow-mo how a greyhound achieves such high speed. It's fascinating, so elegant.. couldn't agree with you more it's the way to appreciate animals.
      Do you like to try aromatherapy/herbs for helping with sleep? Things like lavender, valerian, chamomile?
      Wishing you lots of restful nights..

      @Melatiah it sounds like you were a very sweet child. So…creepy… well of course it isn’t. I just replied to you somewhere else about having a box of Nancys fur I keep sealed up and sometimes sniff. I didn’t mention that I scoured the entire house picking bits of fur and skiing off the carpet, her beds, blankets etc. the poor baby was to poorly it was all just coming off her. I can’t even bear to think about it. But I collected every single bit. And a claw and a whisker. It’s my most special thing and I don’t care if anyone else thought that was weird. We just love them 🥰

    Hi Tori When holidaying with the horse at night we would try to get him in a nearby field with farmers permission or find a good wide stretch of towpath where he would be tethered on a long rope and able to eat the vegetation alongside the tow path. Extra food and water would be left out for him and he was happy in his new surroundings every night .

      I thought the intro was really good👌
      I've been up Snowdon many times, never Cadair Idris. Oh what a place.
      From the car park and back it was 4hrs.
      The first 30-40 minutes is tough, steps and more steps. Very tough. Just take your time, waterfalls running by the side as you walk and a river.
      The lake is beautiful.
      Parking is £6 for all day, it's says until 12 and no camping. I was gutted. I left my tent and everything in the car.
      At the trig I was chatting with a couple and mentioned I hoping to have camped there. He said it's fine, he'd chatted with a guy in the pub and he explained you'll have no problems.
      I walked back to car and carried everything back to the lake.
      About 45 minutes walk to the lake.
      The water was so clear. I wanted to swim but by the time I'd set my tent up and everything it was getting late.
      My tent was about 8ft from the lake I could nearly touch it. I cooked right next to it.
      I sat in there looking out the door hours.
      Never felt like that before. It was quite an experience. I filmed it and watched the clouds and sun in between the mountains in front of me moving. It was something else. I think I filmed that part okay. I did a 7 minute video of it, I'll speed it up, think it will look okay.
      I'll put it Saturday or Sunday.
      I'm sure you'd love it there. There was about another 4 tents spread out on the lake. You'd feel very safe.
      Beautiful adventure for you and your sister😉 If I was doing it now, I'd put my tent up at the lake, relax there, cook and swim and the next morning walk the other part up to the trig. There's a cool shelter up the top with lots of benches.
      It was great.
      On Sunday I went Aber Falls. What a special place that is. You can reach the waterfall in 1 hour, £5 to park.
      There full circular walk shows so much more. Many reach Aber Falls and go back, 10 more minutes and you reach a 2nd waterfall. I walked up the mountain to the top looking for a plunge pool, it wasn't deep enough for me.
      Fine for you and other girls. You can get in there all nice and slow😁
      Not the same for a bloke I want to jump in🤣 it just doesn't look the same when a man gets in slow.
      The walk after both waterfalls is easy but so beautiful. Mountains all around and the two huge waterfalls, then all of a sudden you are up high and looking out to the sea. I wasn't expecting that. It was stunning. You see an island out there not far away Anglesey, heard people saying It’s like a little paradise, puffins and so beautiful. Lots of van life people go, I've never been.
      Come to Wales one day 😁
      You'll love it. I know it's so far away for you though. Really far.
      You could break it up doing Brecon Beacons area for a week and then on too North Wales.
      I've put up a little short of Aber Falls this morning. Only a 24 seconds, I'll do another short in a few days then the camping on Cadair Idris video.
      You are a lovely person, kind to animals and people. Keep sharing and caring👋

They were a joy everyday that we had them. I so hope that these sanctuaries get enough support to keep them going.. they do such a great job.

The rich keep getting richer and people trying to do good and save animals or anything else don’t have enough money to do it. I think it was a sign I was so happy to see them, and they all have such different personalities but also that similar greyhound je ne sais quoi that I adore ❤️🐾😍

    Just watching this video Tori i felt at peace thank you.
    I suffer from Anxiety and depression, so getting out and about is difficult for me. When i do its usually by myself as i have zero confidence.....given the choice however, i'd much prefer company.
    Visiting places like this i find are perfect for the mind and soul. We're lucky to have them, along with beautiful coastlines in which to take long walks. You can relax, let an over active mind switch off and even say hi to people without triggering some sort of mental thunderstorm. i love it!.......its just a shame i really need someone to ask me along, before i venture out.
    Its wonderful to see how your making progress Tori, taking small steps toward healing. Thankfully Summer is fast approaching, so opportunities to get out and about will be aplenty.......there's nothing like long sunny days to make a person feel good.
    You take care and stay positive......that's an order! lol :) xx

    Small bow top gipsy caravan may be best idea for touring the narrow lanes of Devon and Cornwall. Back in the 1970 a couple I knew travelled around the West Country in a travellers horse drawn van. Later they moved onto a narrow boat on the canals towed by their horse. Eventually they sold the boat and moved into a house but kept the horse. At that time myself and friends had just rebuilt a horse drawn canal boat and intended to operate it as a passenger trip boat.We bought the horse and operated for the next 15 years.

    I know what you mean. Losing my dog was one of the hardest things I've ever had to go through. It was about 20yrs ago when I had to call the vet for the final time. Even now I still carry his lead in my van. I can't face taking it out. I also can't face having another dog because having to hold him when he was being put to sleep nearly killed me. I don't think I could ever go through that again. Max was a loyal collie. He went everywhere with me. He had ways of communicating with me and had his little methods of letting me know what he wanted. I love watching your videos. I was always so jealous of the attention Miss Nancy got off you. 😅 . Do you think you will ever get another dog? I also love donkeys. I can't resist stopping when I see them and I even go so far as to call them as only a donkey could😅.

    • @missnancysdayoff
      @missnancysdayoff  25 วันที่ผ่านมา

      i feel so much of that, I can’t even think about it still. I have her things everywhere. Can’t think about those last moments. jealous of Miss Nancy?! 😅 well she was the apple of my eye no doubt about that. I will get another dog though, not because I can face the pain again because believe me if I let myself think about the bad bits I never would want to do it again, but for the good bits, and so I can save another dog. If I can rescue a dog from a cage or being put to sleep, and for that I one day have to suffer loosing them then so be it. i just hope we get far far longer together than me and my dear Miss Nancy had 💔 Something inside me is definitely broken though by everything tnat happened. wow if I ever see someone calling donkeys in their own language I’ll know who it is!

I've never been myself but my parents and I do occasionally adopt some of the donkeys there!

    Good to see you getting your “Mojo”back. Life goes on whatever the ups and downs. Looking forward to seeing more of you in the future. What is happening with the Yeti conversion? Donkeys are great but don’t adopt one to replace Miss Nancy there wouldn’t be enough room in your van for both of you. You would have to upgrade to a horse box.

    Lovely video again. Getting out and being among lovely life forms is real medicine. The donkey therapy is identical to the equine therapy I just heard of from a friend in Central Ontario. They put people out in the paddock and the horses come in and choose a partner!! Apparently this works. My friend was a farm girl who had her own horse at age 8 and used to ride all over the countryside. This really feels great for her. I hear they are working on horse yoga but there appear to be a few technical issues to overcome.
    One question. This is the first time I've ever watched in detail a donkey braying (great camera work). Is it actually the case that their two note "call" is exhaling (normal) on the first note and inhaling on the second note?? That would be remarkable. The only other animal I encountered who did anything close to this was my brother who inhaled to whistle until he was about 5. Then he turned more normal.

    • @missnancysdayoff
      @missnancysdayoff  6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thank you 🙏 funny I was recently reading a book that said there was research that showed that out of a group of troubled teens those that had access to horses to care for essentially were able to do better. I am not surprised. Horse yoga 😅 Well I hadn’t actually thought about it with the donkey but I think it must be, his back was going right up and down with the two notes, he’d be good on a didgeridoo. Turned more normal 🤭 I suppose if inhaling to whistle was the worst of his flaws he wasn’t doing too bad!
