February was wet, cold and unusually windy. One rare Sunday, the sun shone so we went for a walk after our afternoon tea.
Millie was invited but turned back when she found the main road to the smallholding was closed. There are other roads, but they were blocked by traffic. So Millie missed cheese scones, coffee cake and an excellent fruit cake baked by GSM. Poor Millie.
We have exciting news, we have rehomed two bantams. Here are some pictures of their new abode. Looks good GSS and GS! Might get some pictures of our new birds in a future blog. They are very shy!
The Assassin is unimpressed by the new fowl. She is still training GS to feed her treats on demand. She accompanies us when we walk the dog. I think she is better trained than Doofus. Doofus has a new bandana, thanks Millie.
Burns Night – the younger Smallholders gave us Tam O’Shanter on the laptop, very funny, and GSM made Cranachan, yum.
We pulled the dead willow out of the lawn in front of the kitchen window.
We got a pallet load of bedding to last till summer hopefully.
This time last year, it was dry and we cleared a lot of brambles, nettles, hawthorn and weeds. And now they have grown back, sigh.
