Gooslings are cute. I have thought of getting a pair for guard dogs, but until Pine Marten maurauding persist then I won't get any more fowl.

I love the geese, choille. As hissy and honky as the breeding pair are (they weren't hand reared and are rather shy), they are still adorable, I love them even whilst being bitten.... The gosling.... I am smitten. May as well be my fourth child

She's about three times the size of that now, though.

The gosling or the human???

Get an alpaca instead it will guard and give you yarn! Plus they are gorgeous

Our creeping buttercup is in flower at the moment so the garden is a sea of yellow, it may be pretty from a distance however it still makes me bitter that it is winning :rotfl:

Just reading about the gooses (;)) & I heard honking overhead. Didn't get out of bed quick enough to see them, but I think they were probably the Canadian Geese that live in a nearby park.

Did get to see a bunny in the garden though, eating the fallen leaves off our cherry tree. I do love a bunny

Dave, what is it about men & man caves?! :rotfl: Glad you're managing to work things out with the builder.
How are you doing with the recurrence of the dreaded stones??

Anyone got any ideas for what colour walls to go for in a North facing bathroom?? It's got a grey suite & grey tiles The tiles were painted white by the previous owner but it was peeling & looked awful so we scraped it all off. I'm tempted to paint them again though because they're really old-fashioned. Want something cheap & cheerful but not too 'off the wall' as we will be selling up at some point (she said hopefully).

Poppy could you keep they grey and accentuate with a bold colour like fushia?

I am up and feeding Rumlet before heading to the garden I want to get the back grass cut and the patio cleared so I can power wash it

The car has suffered a catalogue of disasters this week and is due an MOT so I will have to get that sorted

Poppy, we have bunnies. And crows and magpies and rats.... And OH now has a gun So far they have been too fast for him and the crow (or magpies?) got one of the goslings.....

Alpacas are gorgeous, but you couldn't just have the one now could you. I would love a brace of llamas, but that would be too much.

Creeping buttercup is having a good year here too, it's a pest, but thought it was acid soil loving? Maybe wrong - maybe just onceit's got a grip it'll grow any where.

So sorry to hear of the goosling - preditors are everywhere at this time attempting to feed their young - nature, eh?

The grey tiles - could you get some groovy transfers like numbers,or letters & jazz them up?
Dulux have a good website to inspire you on colour. Greys quite neutral so you could really go with a lot of colour in there.

Well I cut the grass and got most of it tidied away when the rain started The back garden is looking much better this year and I am going to keep up the little and often approach to the garden. What I need now is for the rain to stop!

I'm pleased that I cut the orchards on Monday & Tuesday, as there would be no chance now. The far orchard beyond the hens was almost too much for the Hayterette as it was.:o

I saw two magpies here at the weekend, frolicking around near the Dog End. It won't be for too long. One of Mr Dog's better qualities is his determination to see off magpies, usually with a Larsen trap. :eek:

No recurrence of the stone symptoms, thanks, Poppy, perhaps because of the apple cider vinegar, perhaps not. I don't care if the effects are all in the mind, so long as it works!

I am about to reintorduce ACV as part of my "regime". The chickens get it, why not me?
