Sorry for the BH, BV, must be the wine
Great isn’t it. Not sure our hens think so though as Harry our cockerel is giving them, ahem…noticably more ‘attention’ this week….
🍷🍷cheers ! Breadhead!
Jackie wouldn’t it be lovely if your hens had some 🐥🐥🐥🐥🐥🐥🐥🐥🐥🐥
It would be lovely BV. We have had only 1 hen go broody in all the time we have kept chickens. Only 1 chick hatched and it was so lovely to watch her take care of it, tucking it under her wing etc. ‘It’ turned into a gorgeous cockerel which we gave to a friend.
However we were convinced at one point ‘it’ was going to be a she so he got stuck with the name Doris. I don’t think a job in chicken sexing is on the cards for us….
Doris the Cockerel, poor Lad
Anne is busy gardening in a t-shirt. Don’t get carried away lads she does have other clothing on!!!👙 I’ve just wire brushed and painted the metal handrails on the granary steps.

I think you may be grass cutting tomorrow Bill another nice day forcast
@stinky my Dad always repeats that poem when spring arrives, made me smile to read it here as I read it in his voice!
Gorgeous again here today, frost but no mist. Another day sorting and clearing the garden, discovered yesterday that none of my geraniums survived in the greenhouse, think the frost must have got them, oh well, another lesson in how not to garden!
@jackie love Doris the cockerel story! When I worked at the sanctuary we had a kitten in and I and a vet nurse were sure she was a girl so she was named Claire, 6 months later Claire grew extra bits
Reminds me of when we got our kitten Stella. Took her to the vets for spaying and after an hour or so I recieved a phone call. “She” was a “He”, did we want to continue? Oh, and it would be a lot cheaper!!!
Lovely here Jean but grass cutting is taboo on Sundays, anything ‘noisey’, suppose I could do it with scissors
Forecast dry a.m., so I don’t get it all done, will get the machinery out then
Did you get out there with your nail scissors Bill? Sun has returned here today which makes me even less inclined to be scrabbling about on an earth floor indoors. Think I may try some avoidance tactics and find something else that needs doing much more urgently.
No WP, the night caught up with me, it’s quite a slow process , and been wet since
Your floor, don’t rush at a job you aren’t keen on, especially, if you can put it off ’till later
Last year walking round the outskirts of Pontivy came across some Agapanthus plants that had their seed heads, so picked a few seed heads going to pant the seeds this afternoon fingers crossed they work.
Following up from the Doris, Stella and Claire stories we had a budgie called Peter, when Peter was about 10 years old he became poorly, the vet prescribed multivitamins & Peter improved no end and then ………. proceeded to lay eggs!!!!! Dozens of them!
Back to the Spring post, all the primulas (or polyanthus) are planted and looking perky and colourful (dare I say they could do with a sprinkling of rain now!) The scent of Daphne pervades the air as we walk by, delicious!
I bet they look lovely Fruitcake. Your budgie Peter reminded me of my mothers budgie! He was called Peter and could mimic my Mum’s telephone, she was always dashing in to answer it, and he would sit there with his head on one side, almost as if he was thinking “got you there didn’t I?”
