Home to roost!!!???

Our new 21 week old chickens are taking their time to find their way home after being set free! Having to catch up over 30 birds each afternoon, not the brightest of creatures, trying to force their way THROUGH the fence rather than go through a gate!
Worse than kids!
Anyway, putting them on a daily training course on how to go to roost safely! Still, the eggs will be nice !

Riverside and Homeside

Just got back from the Riverside watching Middlesbrough v. Newcastle United, very cold. Result was OK, a nil nil draw, but the Boro were the better team !

On the way back in, saw two things 1. A Tawney Owl on the driveway in my headlights, holding a mouse like animal ! Fantastic. 2. The glow of the log fire in our house !
Now its X Factor !!

Lazy Wednesday afternoon ...!!!

Wednesday afternoon, just finished adding some double glazing to the bedrooms and bathrooms of both Natalie and Gemma (thats what we call our lodges, after our daughters !) Looks very nice!

New shower unit ready to go into our lodge next to the pond.

Just had our VisitBritain inspection, we continue our 3 Star rating ! This to go with our Silver Award for Green Tourism .

Last week, our new arrivals came, 90 18 week old chickens! We'll have eggs coming out of our ears soon!

This is our first blog, will regularly continue to update you all on everything happening here.
