Oh no.   :'(. She was very knowledgeable and very generous with her knowledge too. She’ll be missed.
Don't listen to the money men - they know the price of everything and the value of nothing

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.

Very sad to hear the news.

Her travel blog about her and phoebe's life in the RV were the best !
