At evenings and weekends, especially during winter, I am mostly to be found knee deep in mud. There are 24 rescued animals living at the sanctuary; including; hens, bantams, cockerels, turkeys, sheep, goats and horses. This year, we experimented with veg growing, aiming to grow some favourite veggies for the hens and turkeys. This went down a storm with the feathered ones and we’re now looking to expand the veggie plot… Although, as the goats continually gate-crashed their way into the veg patch, this year, there may not be too much left for the hens unless we goat-proof the fence. Our sheep Daisy, Teddy & Jude, love a tummy tickle and are quite partial to rich tea biscuits, I did attempt to introduce a healthy diet, you Blossom know, carrot sticks, chopped apple, that sort of thing, but no, they’ll spit those back at you and bleat loudly until they get a ‘biccie’. Biscuits are also popular with the Shetlands, goats, horses, Emmie, Annie, Blossom and as you may imagine, feeding times are just chaos especially when Jayne (who is only 4’’10) is in the sheep stable and they all decide to bolt, usually running through Jayne’s legs and taking her with them as she is small enough to actually sit on their backs…she gets quite far! Not sure sheep riding is ethical? Our first lamb, Daisy, came to us last bonfire night, very scared and very hungry, we tried to locate her owner, but nobody came forward and we never found out where she came from. We decided she would be lonely, so got her friend, Teddy, who was destined for market as he was surplus to requirements, when we thought Teddy may pine if anything happened to Daisy, we got Jude (also destined for market and who I wanted to call Bernard, but got vetoed) we have decided we can’t go on like this or we’ll Max and Henry behind have a flock! I recently joined Clubhouse support worker Maggie’s ‘bring a pet’ session from the stables, providing a ‘live’ tour. Blossom the Shetland particularly likes the camera and couldn’t get enough of the limelight. The sheep, Daisy, Teddy and Jude were very well behaved and came running on cue when 5 called, they love a camera and will happily pose for pics. It wasn’t too chaotic. Shetland, Blossom, came to the Sanctuary many years ago, she had been used as a ‘baby-machine’ and had produced foal after foal, year after year. She was no longer wanted, but luckily came to us. One morning not long after her arrival, there was great surprise when it was discovered that she had given birth to a tiny foal, on her own during the night. Her son, whom we named Harry lives with her at the sanctuary and they are inseparable. Mrs Warren Prince Justin Prince, who is our latest resident had been found, alone in a field, without shelter, he was being fed by the two women who discovered him. He was a stallion, so unfortunately for him, it was becoming increasingly difficult for his rescuers to find a home for him as stallions can be difficult to handle. The people who ‘owned’ him didn’t want him and had made the decision to end his life. We received a desperate plea to help, we decided that we needed to give him a chance and Prince Justin (so named because we got to him just in time) came to live with us. I think you will agree, he is beautiful. He is learning to be around people and other horses and is beginning to settle down. He and Blossom have become great friends much to her son Harrys’ disgust. Our beautiful chestnut, Max, who is very clever and can open his own stable door, is such a kind soul that after he has let himself out, he kindly walks around the yard and opens the other stable doors to let his friends out…. he’s such a generous boy. Our turkeys and hens are all rescued, the hens in particular are happy, healthy and very inquisitive girls who go further up the field each day until we can barely see them, we have to ‘round them up’ by shouting, ‘chick, chick, chick’ and shaking a tub of meal worms, a treat they just can’t resist. They are into everything and love to follow us around each stable, looking for juicy bugs, we always have a little feathered posse around us as we muck out. Our turkey boys, Freddie and Bertie, are very sociable and love people. When they were young, they would panic if they couldn’t see us. They’d call loudly then run, flapping their wings madly until they were back in sight of their ‘mums’. They are very friendly and love new people, the skin on their 6 heads changes colour to match their mood, when they are happy, they turn blue! Freddy particularly likes a head massage and has his own oil blend made for him by one of our volunteers. I like my Turkey boys so much and worry that they may be too cold ( I ensure they have lots of straw in their beds, lovingly plumped up each day, sprinkled with lavender to keep bugs away) too hot ( during the summer I make iced fruit bowls for them and mist them with water) or that the stones on the path are too big or sharp ( I move them out of their way to make sure they don’t hurt their feet)…I also hand feed them blueberries and grapes, which they love, I can’t think why people say I spoil them. We have three cockerels, the youngest hatched on 7th May, VE day. For a while, he couldn’t cock-a- doodle-doo, but has mastered it now and begins before the sun comes up. We’ve recently discovered that our other hatchling, who had been named Gertrude, is in fact, a boy!! He’s obviously a very late developer as he hatched in May but has only just found his cock-a-doodle-doo…I suppose better late than never. He has been renamed Elvis. Annie Bertram & Freddy Our three goats can be very grumpy, I have lost count of the times I’ve been ‘butted’ by them when they’re in a mood because they don’t like the rain or they don’t like waiting for their dinner or don’t like being left out of a good cuddle or they want to steal everybody else’s stable or the sheep have been fed dinner first. I’m usually covered in little horn- shaped bruises. But they are cute and love a good face massage. We even polish Gromit’s impressive horns, although he doesn’t appreciate our efforts, such ingratitude! Our List of Residents: (Not including the resident buzzard family, numerous robins and wild birds, our swallows who nest in the stables every year, the owl who loves our gate post and spends hours sitting on it and the fox and badger families who live at the top of the field.) Horses: Max, Lenny (Henry), Annie, Emmie, Prince Justin (PJ), Isabella, Harry, Blossom.

  • Disabling Comedy: “Only When We Laugh!”
    Disabling Comedy: “Only When We Laugh!” Dr. Laurence Clark, North West Disability Arts Forum (Paper presented at the ‘Finding the Spotlight’ Conference, Liverpool Institute for the Performing Arts, 30th May 2003) Abstract Traditionally comedy involving disabled people has extracted humour from people’s impairments – i.e. a “functional limitation”. Examples range from Shakespeare’s ‘fool’ character and Elizabethan joke books to characters in modern TV sitcoms. Common arguments for the use of such disempowering portrayals are that “nothing is meant by them” and that “people should be able to laugh at themselves”. This paper looks at the effects of such ‘disabling comedy’. These include the damage done to the general public’s perceptions of disabled people, the contribution to the erosion of a disabled people’s ‘identity’ and how accepting disablist comedy as the ‘norm’ has served to exclude disabled writers / comedians / performers from the profession. 1. Introduction Society has been deriving humour from disabled people for centuries. Elizabethan joke books were full of jokes about disabled people with a variety of impairments. During the 17th and 18th centuries, keeping 'idiots' as objects of humour was common among those who had the money to do so, and visits to Bedlam and other 'mental' institutions were a typical form of entertainment (Barnes, 1992, page 14). Bilken and Bogdana (1977) identified “the disabled person as an object of ridicule” as one of the ten media stereotypes of disabled people. Apart from ridicule, disabled people have been largely excluded from the world of comedy in the past. For example, in the eighties American stand-up comedian George Carlin was arrested whilst doing his act for swearing in front of young disabled people.
