    Plants IN 3 (centradenia cascade, calibrachoa can can sunset, lotus maculatus) I couldn't resist :o

    Spent a small fortune on bark chips - £48 for 12 bags - and I'm one bag short :(

    The back garden is looking lovely though :D

    Thomasina Mier's baked sea bass with Jerusalem artichokes & fennel for dinner - another keeper :)

    Nice to see someone else with chickens, our girls are laying so many at the minute! We only have 4 but the eggs seem never ending!

    Enjoy your soup :)

    I think there are quite a few MFWs with chickens :D I can't imagine life without them - we've had chickens for very nearly 6 years now :cool:

    What breeds do you have beckyy?

    There are photos of The Girls on page 121 :)

  • A fairly relaxed morning so far but I'm going to have to pick up the pace soon!

    I'm off to Germany this afternoon and not only haven't I packed but I also have a 2-hour F2F meeting 30 miles away this morning :eek:

    Morning MWC, one of our hounds has taken to woofing around 5.30am. I think it's light so she thinks its time to be up and walking :eek:

    No dogs or chooks here, but I do have a dh who seems to need to turn round 3 times before settling to sleep. And who never wakes up gently, but with a sudden jump. :j

    I made it home from the meeting with 15 minutes to spare - phew!

    I'm hoping to have a couple of hours free tomorrow afternoon Tilly ;)
    I shall probably browse in the housie shop and walk around the Promenade :) I still have the 60 euros in my purse - I wonder if I can resist spending it a third time!
