House Martins building their house on our house!

Chicks!

Well we are the proud foster parents of a baby chick, we incubated 4 eggs, sadly 3 of them did not hatch but the one who did is alert and lively! It hatched yesterday and below is a photo of it at roughly one day old. Talking of chicks also last night we were sitting watching telly when there was a bang on the window outside when we looked there was a chaffinch fledgling on the floor stunned. We took it in overnight and it couldn't stand so thought we would let it rest overnight and see how it was in the morning. Fortunatly it had picked up and when we let it out this morning it flew off and landed in a tree so hopefully we gave it a second chance and it will have learnt not to fly into a window again!

Nearly there!

Well we have laid the last of the tiles today we just need to do the grouting and we will have finished the kitchen floor it will be nice to have a fully functioning kitchen again, though need to get he plumbing for the sink done before we have a complete kitchen and to do up the cupboard which is in one of the stables at the moment!

We also got the garlic, potatoes, carrots, onions, courgettes and parsnips planted in the raised beds although wasn't easy keeping the chickens at bay who either wanted to scrabble around in the earth or eat the leaves of what we were planting!! The willow are also doing OK at the moment! I will add some pikkies but at the moment we have a bit of a busy week so may not be this week!
