Yet more rain is falling, so I have been wandering around today, photographing and making notes of all the things I want moved/rejigged in winter so I don't have to wade through mud to do them.
These include:
- More hard paths to/from the chicken run area:
- A new washing line set up by the new patio, so I only have to walk across paving slabs in the winter to hang out washing ( if it ever stops raining long enough for the washing to get to the hanging out point!) .
- More slabs around the polytunnel:
I am sure there will be more things to add to this list!
Blondin the cockerel is now King of the Roost and lives in with The Big Girls in the Mega Hen pen. He is very pleased with himself.
Still not 100% convinced that Treacle is actually a pullet, but s/he shows no sign of crowing yet, so I guess we will not know for sure until an egg is laid.
Inside I have been busy sorting out old paperwork, doing my Tax return and generally clearing out the old to make way for the new.
<cough> The new in this instance also includes ordering some Debbie Bliss Baby Cashmerino yarn in glorious autumnal colours from a supplier who had lots of now discontinued colours in stock. :)
Sadly our local Wassailing with The Big Apple had to be cancelled due to the appalling weather, so we will just have to " make do" with serenading our few trees with The Wassail Song and banging some pots and pans around them. Oh, and drinking cider, of course :) .
HELLO Tabitha he/she chicken

Heads: Treacle could be a boy. Tails: Treacle could be a girl. Some years I don't know until the boys start courting the hens.
ReplyDeleteTreacle is a Boy. Sigh.
