    27/03 and 28/03...I think.:lol: Just can't seem to get away from the wind at the moment. It's been pretty full on for a few days now. Not awsome gust speeds, just that annoying 25mph to 30mph constant pressure. Mow in the nest box at roosting time. She's out all day. Yeah I know she's cute, but...

    Not really. It hasn't happened often enough to warrant drastic measures.:D

    Can't help but admire some roosters ability to pick completely inappropriate nest sites.:D I don't like the look of those droppings, or the state of her rear end.

    You've done well with the over winter carrots. The last carrots I planted come out much like the most misshapen one in your picture; mostly because the ground is so stony. It's grow carrots and parsnips in raised beds at the field if one wants a decent crop.

    If only I saw it as being that simple.:p Henry's genes were fine. He lived longer than most roosters and cockerels and, by the time I got to know him, had settled into being a very stable easy going chap. Glais has more going on in the intelligence department I think. What that translates to...

    Honestly, if they turn up that's great but if I can find the right pair they'll cost under £10. I mainly annoyed with myself because I know if I want things I've put in my pockets to be there later, I need to fasten the pocket shut. All the pockets on my field coat fasten shut.

    It's looked kind of empty since Henry died. He had that way of seeming to fill the coop.:love Glais hasn't filled out yet. Even so, I'm not expecting him to be Henry's weight. You could hear plants give a sigh of relief when Henry took his weight off them.:lol: Odd perspectives. The coop is...

    This afternoon was bitter. Strong winds, hail, cold rain. We did get out but I didn't want to take my hands out of my pockets to take pictures. It got down to 3C, with wind chill, -2C. Mow's in the nest box behind Sylph and Glais? Eating of course.

    I think these scissors were austenitic which isn't magnetic.

    I've looked and I haven't found them. I'll get another pair but finding good quality ones isn't easy.

    Spring is over. Winter is back. Rain, getting colder, 45mph winds. We got out for an hour or so. They put up with the drizzle but even light rain wind driven is pretty unpleasant. I dropped my small surgical round nosed scissors somewhere on the field. They were in a pocket but I didn't zip the...
