Ribh's D'Coopage

[Ribh]

To paraphrase Perry Mason, "Do you?"

I actually do. I whinge here to amuse you lot!

 

[Ribh]

It is emotionally exhausting.

Yep. I can't do it long term.

As I was babysitting this weekend I missed most of the discussion about education on @BY Bob's thread but have now dumped a load ~ with more to come if I get up the nerve!

However I find the kiddies home environment so sterile I invariably get them out somewhere that I consider a little more child friendly so we walked to the 2nd of 2 parks. It was a lovely walk over a bridge, along a creek & past the golf course with its lake full of moor hens, tadpoles, dragonflies, fish & butterflies.

Yes, we did the swings & things.

But the highlight of our walk was spotting someone's backyard flock free ranging in the back yard! Just look @ these beauties!

There seems to be a giant in the group!

Yep! I think it's a buff orpington but the only hen I was really sure of was the silver laced Wyandotte.

I didn't realise they were that big! I've never seen a real one.
