Man down and ‘the hobble’
Monday 29th January: It’s 10.45 and mission accomplished this morning, after doing the feeding the job was to fully secure the rabbit run and make sure that when the babies start moving about they can’t get out! We have 2inch square welded mesh around the run so the adults can’t get through it BUT baby…

Goose eggs,
Monday 22nd January: Well once again after thoroughly disgusting weather yesterday, today is not a bad day, warmer, dry for the time being, bit wet under foot but hey it’s winter can’t expect much else.

A power cut, pies and CHRISTMAS 🎄
Monday: Animals all done I decided to get started on trying a pork pie except that I’d forgotten to get the trotters out of the freezer to make the jelly, never mind the pork needs cutting and mixing with herbs etc and leaving overnight to soak up the flavours apparently so I will do it…

Snow, heavy snow and breakages 😩
Thursday: After a few days away, which was a fabulous little break with plenty of eating and drinking, fine company and interesting ports, the first day back got off to a good start. I had forgotten to order straw before I left and quickly sent a text on the evening we returned to the farmer…

A six foot fence, a big fat fox and carpet grippers!
Monday: Another week begins and we had rain overnight, the temperature has gone up and I’m sweating doing the rounds this morning, gotta love this country when one day is nearly always different to the next and nothing to do with the weather is ever a dead cert! On my way round I looked for…

Rouge ferret, sad goodbyes and an eco egg.
Monday PM: Just got back from my away day with the girls and a fabulous time was had by all of us 😀 Update on the Guinea pig versus ferret episode: Saturday night, I heard the guinea pig squealing at around 10pm went out with a torch to see a ferret chewing on his neck,…
