Washington, Mar 30 : Supermodel Claudia Schiffer has fulfilled her childhood dream of living in a farm by building up a collection of countryside animals and exotic pets.

The 38-year-old model keeps her pets at her country retreat in Suffolk, England.

Her farm contains three dogs, two sheep, four chickens, a pregnant pig, two black swans, four ducks, three tortoises and a parrot.

Schiffer compares her everyday routine to living in a "zoo".

London, Mar 26 : Claudia Schiffer certainly has a taste for her native Germany, for the supermodel travelled almost halfway across London just to stock up on her favourite Teutonic treats.

The catwalk queen, who grew up in Rheinberg, near Dusseldorf, still finds herself craving for the treats of her Fatherland.

And, thus, the long-legged beauty, who now lives in trendy Notting Hill with her husband Matthew Vaughn, trekked to the Backhaus German deli in Richmond to stock up on her favourite supplies.
