Things that brighten the day

[Darwins Selection]

I ended the day having a presentation on the mahoosive changes happening on the farm followed by a BBQ courtesy of said farmer. After 15 - 20 years of arable they're going down the "grass-fed" route, meadow grasses have already been planted over much of the 2,500 acres, and 4,500 sheep arrive in September (and one dog), and cows to follow. Photo opportunities galore 

The first 40 have arrived. Nice to hear them in the field as I sat in the garden with cider in hand this evening (NAE) 

Gorgeous!!  I grew up with sheep to the left and cows to the right. Love the sound of lambies on a balmy evening. 

Unlike when you have been in Pambis lately:

Clown to the left of me, joker to the right of me.....

... and a barmy evening.

Have you planted any mint yet?

[Just One More]

Funnily enough, about eight different types in pots 

[Miss Creant Commander of the picklement and baking BAb(Hons)]

Mint....  

I have got loads of different types, love making fresh mint tea.  Mint with peas, fresh mint sauce with anything.

I really should get round to dividing mine they are almost coming in the house to get me.

I have just been watching the bats launch themselves out of next doors roof space.  I thought that we had one or two here.  I kept watching and more flew out there are at least 30 nesting in this colony.


 I can't tell the neighbours that they are in there as they are the sort to try and get rid.

Rid of the bats or yourself?

[Miss Creant Commander of the picklement and baking BAb(Hons)]

Oh noes they like me, I chicken sit for them, it will be the bats that they want to get rid of.

The poor love is a chicken novice, in the keeping way of the word, trying to explain to a sobbing woman how to shove a prolapse back into place (a hen not her nor I) was not easy nor was breaking the news that as she (the hen) was an ex-battery hen even if she succeeded it was likely to re-occur and if she wasn't around the hen would likely be eviscerated by her other hens, the sobbing grew louder I offered her a tissue and a black sack.  She had to get a farmer friend in to do the deed.

Not easy for those who try 'The Good Life' from a standing start.
