'The Girls' have arrived...

Nora, Flora, Dora, Laura, Cora, Moira, Tora-Tora-Tora & Babs have arrived - they were 1 day old when is Lordship went to pick them up Yesterday (Friday) & they are soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo cute!! They are in 'Coop Palace' on a bed of mown grass & a soft heat lamp to keep them warm. Awwww.



Like the neat rustic fence & gate Ian did -FAB!




Talking of which he's also made a great bridge across the River Kwai - well the brook down our meadow...made of alders (we have tons of them!)


We've both stood on it - so it can handle heavy loads! & The Boyz manage to get across too without loosing a paw...

Weather is hot & the black flies are a-biting... off to find some Penny Royal plants - a customer recommended this as it is a natural insect repellant. Poor Erik has his own personal 'gang' of flies above his head where ever he goes - the darn things like dark colours! He was sporting his union jack bandana laced with citronella oil today - but then started to eat it so we took it off him. He's also decided he wants to eat small stones too - arghhh!



Waiting for my Old Moss Roses to arrive - the soil is dug over ready & waiting... Paeonies are in as are hollyhocks & flocks & tomorrow a clematis - yummy!


TTFN...
