...eight point of lay 17 week old warren pullets arrived yesterday.
They are very shy, never having been outdoors before today.
There has been a bit of squabbling.
Some of the resident matrons are positively sulking...
What was really amazing was watching a couple of the new girls enjoying a dust bath for the first time. They have spent their entire life in a barn but an innate instinct took over. The wonder of creation.
Speaking of which, there has been a positive proliferation of plum blossom in just one week...
I hope it means a bumper crop of plums. The tree is just two years planted in our garden and was a young sapling. There were approx five plums last year. So here's hoping.
Another arrival this weekend is eldest daughter home from uni for five weeks.
Eleven year old daughter made a lovely spring flower table decoration..
Here it is displayed on a recently purchased rather jolly charity shop tablecloth (£2.79.)
And just the excuse we needed to bake a big cake to welcome her home...
Also managed some seed sowing, a bit of weeding and quite a lot of leaning on the fence enjoying the bird song. All the brood back under one roof, happy days.
