Turns out the pair of pheasants is two pairs of pheasants.
Got a lot of plucking to do when we get home 🤣🤣🤣4 -
Excellent blag on the pheasants! I’m not a fan if it’s hung for long but quite like it a bit “newer”.Sounded like a great day yesterday - hope the bar bill isn’t too much of a nasty surprise! 😂🎉 MORTGAGE FREE (First time!) 30/09/2016 🎉 And now we go again…New mortgage taken 01/09/23 🏡

Never plucked a pheasant, although I seem to recall we did some wood pigeons many years ago. I have skinned rabbits a few times though - now THAT is a satisfying task!🎉 MORTGAGE FREE (First time!) 30/09/2016 🎉 And now we go again…New mortgage taken 01/09/23 🏡

You'll be finding feathers for ever more! I know when DH plucked a duck I was constantly finding feathers and not just in the kitchen, they seemed to have floated all over the house!

My husband has a friend who provides us with pheasants. We just rip the breasts out and bin the rest. Our English Springer Spaniel looks on lovingly....!#2 Saving for Christmas 2024 - £1 a day challenge. £325 of £3661
