I remember Mr GARRETT's Donkeys well:0)
I used to ride them every Summer on Douglas Promenade and then I would visit them in Anagh Coar donkey fields after the Summer season with carrotts and vegetables etc.

I lived in Spring Valley just down the road from Anagh Coar in the 1960's.
The donkeys were always well groomed and plump and wore summer bonnets and had garlands of flowers around their necks.
They all had names, my favorite was I think, Buttercup.
