Goodbye Girls and Thank you Very Much
My lovely ladies are off to a new home tomorrow. I was beginning to think that I would be making some large pots of chicken soup before we head off to Spain. But they deserved a chance so I advertised in our local post office hoping to find a home for at least two or three of them. I have nine altogether and I thought it would be a tall order to find them all new homes, especially as they don't all lay and I don't know which ones do and which ones do not! Anyway, to cut a long story short, a very kind gentleman in our village has offerred to take them ALL. He used to have a flock of twenty but is down to five very old girls now and he was quite happy to add my nine to his. I asked if I could keep them for a little while longer and he was happy for me to do that too. I will definitely miss them. It will be strange not to look out the kitchen window and see them darting around the hen enclosure. Somehow they brought the garden to life and I could spend hours jus
