Guess we’ll just have to wait for flowers to find out what it is. Flower colour can vary but their shape & what 5he flower spike looks like are pretty consistent. Wouldn’t rule it out yet…
I’ve probably mentioned this before - Bub-bub has given me some really painful ‘bites’ (grab & twist). I take the view that I’ve done something stupid & try not to repeat the mistake. Every morning he comes out of their house, gallops over, fluffed up & pecks my foot, occasionally giving it a...
I am currently offering mine kale leaves hung up so they can rip bite sized chunks off. Gives them green poop 🤣.
Today’s treat as they won’t be able to get out (I’m taking mum to her Easter retreat at Douai Abbey nr Reading) is a fresh half sweetcorn on a stick - stops it getting grubby.

Scandalous that it’s taken 20 years of people’s lives, sometimes literally taken their lives & is still causing misery. Worse that it took a tv drama to really put a rocket up the politicians to get it sorted...
Ok, lets see how I go with this :p

I’ve noticed that the chickens have different tastes at different times of year. Currently jerusalem artichoke...
:barnieWell I would post some tax but I don’t seem able to insert any pictures at the moment, all I get is the two chain links symbol and a box with https in. Will try later when maybe my untechie brain can work it out. Sorry Mr taxman :oops:

Interestingly the crow appears to be wearing a natty feather hat which the rooster is tearing into, the duck appears to be egging him on and the pheasant appears to be smoking a small cigar:lau
Weird but fun
