And sold! I have a dozen Silver Dorkings eggs on they’re way to me.
Mrs Dorking is very unhappy about her move but the incubator is now cleaned and back on as a back up.

Mrs Dorking has gone broody, she’s been sitting tight for about four days now, so this evening she has been moved to her own little hutch where she can be left in peace away from the other hens who want to lay eggs (or not as is more the truth.)
It is the first time that [...]

I have joined Twitter.
I recently heard a programme on Radio 4 about it and it’s many uses but have sadly forgotten which part it was that inspired me to join or how I was going to use it. Still I am now a member, and when I have a) worked out how to and b) [...]

Even though I have lived here since I was nine, I still don’t feel like I have seen that many of the ‘tourist-y’ things that the area has, the things that if I was on holiday here I would most likely make an effort to go and see but as I live here and have no [...]

The other night Rhys went out and found a Hedgehog stealing the cats food from their bowl. It was gone before a photo could be taken or I could see it but still exciting news and a further sign that the population is on the up in the area.

Adas coat has started to change colour, it is interesting to see. When she was born she was a sort of dark brown with some chestnut patches and now she seems to be getting patches of white or ’salt and pepper’ through from her under coat.
It is making her look very messing and untidy. I’ve never [...]

I have been away for the weekend, visiting my grandmother in Devon. I have been promising to go for over a year now but there has always been too much to do. There still were lots of things to do but last month I decided there would always be lots to do and booked the train [...]

Well, it is the middle of the courgette season and we are getting lots. Last year I froze most of them and we used them slowly through the winter in vegetable sauces but I don’t think we are going to have so many left for freezing this year.
This evening we had some peeled into long ’slices’ [...]
