Royal Welsh

Braving the weather we took a day off and visited the Royal Welsh show on Tuesday, unfortunately the times we could have taken photos the rain lashed it down..typical!! Despite the rain it was still a good day and it did stop raining occasionally. We also got to see some full grown geese and can now imagine how large ours could get!

Moving!

The new chicks moving into their new home!



Also us moving the refurbed kitchen cabinet into the house which was not easy but we managed it. It is nearly ready for use, just need to hang the doors on which we need some new screws and some handles which I hope we can get done tomorrow as we have to go into Aber tomorrow to pick up my new glasses! The handles should be coming via ebay if we manage to win the bid that is!

Getting bigger!

As you can see the geese and ducks are getting bigger! Our next project is making the ducks a new home near the pond so the geese will have the caravan to themselves!

Sad news

Sadly a couple of days ago we lost one of the ducks so now we only have 3. On a positive note the rest are doing well (ducks, geese and chickens!) and we also have another batch of eggs incubating at the moment which will be the last we are hatching this year.

The veg are coming on well and last weekend we harvested our first potatoes which were yummy and also our first tomatoes which I had in my lunch!

We have also moved a large piece of kitchen furniture into the kitchen which has been sitting in the shed for a year! It's nearly usable as the main unit has been painted, just in the process of painting the doors!

Chicken Coop..

Andrew has been doing a lot of work on doing up one of the old chicken coop's left at the property when we bought it. When we found it the floor was missing, bit's of wood rotted and chewed by rats and the roofing felt coming off, just generally in a very sad state...thanks to his hard work it now has a new floor, is on wheels, a shiny new coat of paint and half a roof...only half the roof is finished due to the fact we have run out of cans which we have used to cover the roof...only have to find another 152 aluminium cans to finish the job! I will post a photo soon (I took one today but so sunny couldn't see it due to the reflection fron the roof!)
