First blue egg!

One of the cream legbars has FINALLY started laying. I am so eggsited!



Her friend has also started laying her pretty brown eggs. Both first eggs are small but with a little time thry will be laying normal size ones… Mr legbar also in this picture. I’m hoping when I breed him and the one layong brown eggs that the offspring should have green eggs…

Fixing up the floor

You’ll notice some of these don’t reach the wall, not ideal for holding up the floor. There was a chimney breast here and we had to have it removed before it collapsed, which is why the joists are hanging like this. 

The floorboards have basically been giving this bit the strength to stay up. They are pretty rotten and are coming up. We can then do something about replacing these joists with ones that do reach the wall…

Good year for mushrooms

Penny bun and Orange Birch bolete, this is about half of the ones we have found recently. We don’t normally get so many, they obviously liked the drought the. rain…


We’ve also found lots of field mushrooms, although there have been other years with more of them
