Is everyone surviving storm Dennis then? Lost one hen to sour crop and had to give away my white star boy since he was just too rough with the ladies. But I've picked up replacement... Little bit misled about their age and it'll turn out to be one boy and one girl instead but for now I'm working off two girls named Wendy and Wilma!

Did any of you get to go to the Carlisle auction last weekend?

I know people travel from all over the UK to have a look at what is there.

I’ve never heard of that place before

it's a well-hidden treasure; they have rooms for people who like peace and quiet and old books https://www.gladstoneslibrary.org/ I found a copy of Lewis Wright's Practical Poultry Keeper among Gladstone's own collection - that was a surprise - Classics, politics, theology, and poultry! I also did not know hitherto that it was the inspiration for US presidential libraries. No other PM has founded one, but it seems to have become a thing in the US.
