Pip and Poppy If you travel to the Yorkshire Dales you will be met with outstanding scenery, Towering castles amidst valleys and breathtakingly peaceful fields of greenery On such a field stands Honey Dip Farm built with strong Yorkshire bricks Surrounded by billowing wild flower meadows and a family of geese and chicks An old apple tree provides welcome shade at the corner of the wheat field For the family of gentle donkeys that the farmer rescued and healed Poppy’s young foal Pip is a wild spirit bounding around without a care Each afternoon they go to a wall where local children visit them there For Pip loves to eat sweet apples and is well known for her hilarious trick Aiming straight at the children’s faces she suddenly spits out all the pips! Squeals of delight and laughter from the children bring the donkeys so much pleasure Loving all the fuss and ear rubs that follow, the donkeys are actually very clever So, if you are planning a visit be sure to pack plenty of apples and pear
