    Doing fine, ty :) never stopped laying all winter, just laid every second day or so. Yesterday we dug a new veg bed and laid the turf carefully in the hen run - so they now have a lawn and today I'll show them how to play bowls :)

    I like that.:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    We're having hard frosts overnight =would that not kill anything planted? The hens water was a solid block of ice last two mornings.
    Only indoor bowls for them then.:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
    Just played last indoor game Saturday evening so outdoors in one month.

    We've had 2 days of lovely sun - but with a cold wind. Out of the wind you could sit outside but out of the sun it was very chilly. White frosts every morning - I love days like that. So I have some budding wallflowers now too Shegar :j
