From 'Fowl Den' to 'Hen Manor'

Over the coming days we're going to turn this run down wee barn into a palace for our forthcoming hens


Hardly fox proof at the moment

Or weather proof


Amongst the wreckage were petrol cans, rat poison, fruit boxes, a patterned tie, corn cobs and random bits of rubber, plastic and wood, and some old medicine for good measure

Not to mention the remnants of booze

I've got wood

Clean

Clean

Not sure what lives in here

Tune in for updates over the coming days

New Years Day stroll in the sunshine

Mistletoe, all over the shop here. Seeing it was 6 quid a sprig in Liberty's I think it's a viable earner.

Big D

This bridge is down the lane from our place. No idea where it once led to, but it doesn't anymore.

Must've been 14 degrees today. Too nice.

Note nerdy twitcher's binoculars. Thanks mum.

Happy New Year
