Then the rivers and lakes are wonderful for picnics, swimming, boating, fishing, or just sitting on a deck chair, reading a book.

Often there are balls, theatre productions and fantastic concerts which visitors are welcome to attend.

The Mansfield area boasts a variety of excellent restaurants, wineries and even a boutique brewery.

The Mansfield Zoo is worth a visit, as it is interactive and visitors can hand feed many friendly native and exotic animals.Visit at feeding time when the zoo keeper feeds the lions and explains and tells anecdotes about the other animals along the way.

Having been a teacher, I enjoy interacting with children of all ages. I also babysit them free of charge if parents want to go out for dinner. I love building their confidence with animals, as we groom the horses and donkey together and take them for walks on lead ropes. They can hold one of the hens, help collect the eggs, feed the tame magpies, play with Ben, our dog, and do drawing with me (I was also an art teacher). We have a number of Theme Gardens which some of our young guests have helped to create and leave their mark. They are so proud of their efforts. Older children enjoy the large pool table and playing on the organ. My husband is group leader for Scouts, and we both have Working with Children Cards.
