    Beanie a grand idea :D

    KC please dont' tell the chickens I might be their overlord, whilst I like the idea they're a handful enough as it is.

    :D

    4 hours in garden. Happy with that.

    Chicken new run underway
    Lifted lots of ground matting from under new chicken run so they access to worms and soil
    Sorted three huge piles of sticks
    Battered an old fence panel to death with an axe and its now half way to being kindling
    Moved (and found) two pallets) see above sometime soon
    Layed out boundaries of new veg garden and looked online for ideas
    Swept and scooped up with a shovel about a gazillion tonnes of bark
    Moved more logs
    Looks at more windfalls and hid them in hammok.

    Hi Pippi


    I had to laugh at your name on here as I have just finished reading PippiLongStocking to my daughter.


    It is such a funny book and a great character. I can't help wonder if you are really like her?? Do you own a monkey called Mr Nielson?? ;)


    I have subscribed to your diary and plan to catch up with your goings on when I have chance xxx

    I got the name on here for my long stripy sock wearing antics.

    I do have a monkey, but he's called Darwin.

    :D

    Happy to see you enjoy! Great books.

    And I do have the strength of a horse.
