  • Yesterday's egg tally:
    Eggs IN 6 (4+2)
    Eggs OUT 0

    A walk before work + a walk at lunchtime + a walk yesterday evening = 20,000+ steps :T

    I picked elderberries and bullaces for hedgerow jelly making (frozen until I have time to forage for crab apples and blackberries) :)

    9 days until pay day...

    Sorry to hear about Miss MWC.

    The chooks always seem to have so much character, it must leave a bit gap when one goes.

    My name suggestions to add

  • Thanks goldie

    It is strange looking out the window and not seeing a white chicken at the bottom of the garden :(

    We're off to the IoW this weekend so I'll have to wait until next week to go shopping for new chickens...
