Spring has arrived! Whether it remains or gets nipped in the bud by a twist in winter’s tale who knows, but crocuses on the lawn, bees feeding on dandelion flowers, pigeons cooing from the copse and a blackbird, infusing the early dusk with it’s intoxicating strain cannot be argued with.
I currently have eight different varieties of chicken all of which need penning separately to ensure the eggs are of the correct parentage, so it was a day of make do and mend to create pens from the ramshackle hopper huts opposite the cottage.
I'm off to butcher a cow now - wish me luck.
Dinner
Spaghetti Bolognese served with wilted spinach. No need to ration the beef mince now –we’ll be swimming in it tomorrow!
