I woke up at 5 am, stayed in bed till 6 and then when I knew I was wide awake I got up and when for a cool morning walk in the sunshine. Did anyone see the mist on the hills? absolutely gorgeous. I was so tired when I was pulling up the rag that I just lay down and shut me eyes for about 10 mins. Its going to be near 20c today I think

Making handmade horseshoes just for fun ( and it saves a heck of a lot of money) and keeps the skills up to scratch!

I know how you feel too, when I stay away I have to come back after 48 hrs, as there is never anything to do in the city. At least its nice to see your family though eh? I always try and make the best of seeing family, they usually come to stay with me as I can't really leave the farm for more than a few hrs. I always have a cracking time though, its nice to have a break sometimes. When I see my family we always go shopping and then go out for dinner, so that's nice. when I do go away though  I never stay more than two days  and I always have another family member looking after the livestock, usually my bro

biting the bullet..  Today is the day to merge the hens into one flock.  I have had 3 hatches this year and so far kept them separate from the main flock. The new ones are roughly at point of lay. The three new groups of 3, 3 and 2 are joining my main flock that has dwindled to 7 over the years and 2 of them are quite old now.
So far, fingers crossed its too hot for fighting.
The boys that have been kept out of the way are none too pleased though.
