Sad news indeed, I remember she was a regular contributer when I had more hens and ducks.
Then her mum died and she went off travelling?
I think she had been ill for some time,
May she rest in peace.
Unless of course she wants to carry on her travelling in another world. :)

She got to experience her dream of loading up herself and her dog into her new van, and heading for the hills.  I loved her stories and her poultry knowledge.

Very sad to read this, I caught up with her blog a few weeks ago and she mentioned there that she had a terminal diagnosis.

Oh I'm so sad.  I sent her  some plants a few years ago and she sent me some dark brown eggs to hatch.  I gave them to Bloomer to hatch as I didn't have the facilities to raise chicks at the time.  I remember friends of mine in their caravan met her on the Applecross road with her Winnebago - not a match made in heaven.  :roflanim:  They were terrified she'd go over the edge. Fortunately she drove it well.  She even took it on teh ferry as she wanted to see Orkney and Shetland.  She had a huge dog called Phoebe, then later on a pup of the same breed.
