    Well done on your home made dinner Pippi! :D

    Nothing much at all going on here today - we were planning on heading out for a walk, but went out and fed the chickens and it was rather chilly and blustery, so came back in again, and seem to have stayed here :D A day for reading, watching the birds and the sea, and eating leftovers I'd say :D

    Happy Christmas! I'm glad everyone is well fed and warm (including Karyn the escapologist hen!).

    Bargains - yep, but I'm doing mine online this year. I have a wedding to buy for on April 23rd - perfect excuse to plunder the sales :)

    Lots of chicken action here today :rotfl: Snow's starting to thaw, and one of the cockerels has been leading a breakaway faction of about 5 hens around the garden on a bit of an adventure trail :rotfl: Got a nice pic of them all standing on top of a mound of (not quite sure what it is, still covered in snow :rotfl:) with the sun setting behind them :rotfl: Very picturesque! :D

    Hope you're all well and still enjoying festivities? xx

    Pesky hens indeed :D

    They're being very good actually - came trotting out to meet us this morning, we must have been later with breakfast than you usually are (we're on holiday, after all :rotfl:). Cockerel seems to be doing a pretty good job of keeping them under control, although we do keep catching him and Karin sneaking off together :rotfl:

    All warm and very cosy here thanks :D Having a great time :D Hope you are too! :D
