Save Doonies Farm

[Cherry Bloop]

I'm not a fan of Doonies farm. It was ace when I was a kid, I loved it!

I was there last year though and it was really disappointing. I don't think it can be saved. There was hardly any animals there. It was ashame.

Yes, that is the trouble - Once they decide to kill a place like that, it is usually fairly simple to run it down to the point where folk lose interest because it has lost almost all it once had to offer.

Then it also reflects its foundation in simpler times - Leisure expectations seem to have changed so much in the last couple of decades, for young kids in particular. A lot of parents would freak at the idea of risking their kids geting a bit dirty at a farm.

I can imagine many parents getting angry at the cost of having to wash the clothes, or worse, the fear that they might catch some sort of disease from the animals.

Yes, whatever happened to the idea that a bit of dirt is actually quite good for you?

Only really stupid parents would worry that their kids might catch a disease from farm animals.
