Note to recorder:

Normal speed, but not fast. Feel free to change what's not idiomatic.

Good morning. My name is Jenny. I read about your Pony Farm in a magazine. It's my birthday next week and I would really like to visit your farm with my family. Can you give me some information?

Of course. What would you like to know?

Well, when does your farm open for visitors. Can we come on the weekend?

Well, that depends. We are open Wednesday to Sunday from 1pm to 5pm.
If you are more than 12 people, we can stay open longer for you on Sunday, until 7pm.
Monday and Tuesday we are closed so the ponies can rest. And the people working for us like two quiet days too.

Oh, I understand. My birthday is on Sunday, January 25th. We would like to have lunch before we get to your farm. Can we come at half past 1?

That will be no problem. How many people would you like to bring with you?

Well, my family are my parents and my little sister. I also want to invite one friend and of course I will be there, too.
Wait, I forgot my cousin Adam. So there'll be two friends and my family.
Which activities do you offer at the Pony farm?

You can choose what you would like to do. Visitors can collect eggs from our chickens, feed the ponies and of course ride them.

Are there any other things that we should know?

It's still cold so you should wear a warm jacket, a scarf, gloves and good boots.
You'll be outside for about 50 minutes. A ride in the snow isn't so romantic when you are cold.

OK, I'll tell my friends.
My mother would like to know the way to your farm. We live next to the church in Pennington. Can you give me directions on the phone?

Yes, sure.
Turn right at the supermarket and then turn right again.
Go straight ahead until you see the post office to your right. Turn left there.
Don't cross the bridge but turn right.
Drive straight ahead and turn left when you see three farms on the left.
Those three farms are our neighbours. After you have passed the last of the three farms, turn right into a small path.

You'll see a sign saying "Lakeview Pony Farm" ahead.
Go through the gate and follow the path to our farmhouse.
You can't park your car in front of the house, so please park at the gate and walk the last few metres. It's a very short walk of about 4 minutes.

OK, I wrote everything down. I hope we'll find our way.

You can call us, if you get lost. Our telephone number is
01258 229657
I'll repeat that for you:
01258 229657
I am looking forward to meeting you next week.

Thank you for your help and see you soon! Bye.
