The "Bug"

Hazel (left) and Marie have been bitten by the hen keeping bug after seeing my girls running riot in Trelawnyd. Hazel has 5 hybrids and will soon have one of my Buff Chicks, and Marie as you can see has three girls.Both have been growing their own vegetables and Hazel is actively looking for an allotment to rent, so we feel as though we are members of an exclusive club.
I have not managed to do much in the allotment today as it has literally pissed it down all day. Unfortunately the ducklings still have to be shut in as their feathers are not quite formed, so cleaning the hut out was a particularly fraught and dirty job this afternoon.The rest of the day has been filled with jobs indoors. At least Chris' Canadian cowboy hat has come in handy, as it may look ridiculous but it sure keeps you dry in the rain.
Last night I went to a friend's house for a supportive chat,( Chris terms it an emotional romp) Ended up drinking a large glug of her Bombay Sapphire......hey ho
