I am feeling fab today. I am now a chicken owner again with 5 leghorns and 3 isa browns who are giving me 7 fresh eggs daily - yippee! It feels great to have chooks again and I converted a portion of one of our building for them and they are clearly happy as pigs in s=+t. I also purchased my first horse. She is a beautiful 3 year old American Quarterhorse mare. Black with a white star and two rear white socks and she is a cracker. She isn't living here at the moment but I am she isn't broke to ride and I am being helped out by a local horse whisperer so she is stabled with her at the moment. My step-daughter has called her Nayla which I am happy with and I am spending time with her every day working on trust and basic groundwork. It does mean the sheep have to wait a few more weeks but I am so good with that! Who knew you could love a horse so much.

Thank you ladies, I feel like such a proud mum every time she does what she is supposed to. I'm probably bias but she is very clever and a quick learner - gonna saddle her for the first time next week - exciting times x
