The bluebells are out. It’s like a blue carpet. The valley reminds me of fairies. And it smells glorious.
Bunty and Ginger laid one brown egg each today. STILL NOTHING from Fifi and Trixabelle. They are getting bigger though, so they maybe need to mature longer. Like cheeses or fine wine lol.
Other news: the polytunnel has arrived. We will try to get it up as soon as possible. We found some newts in a stagnant pool we were goi g to clear, so we are leaving it as a feature. We have planted comfrey to use as fertiliser and possibly winter fodder. Sadly for us, the farm cats have dug up our lovingly planted seedlings so no leeks or carrots. Geordie Smallholder and son are making frames out of chicken wire to protect our next lot of seedlings.
