Catch up time

I've been busy reading lots of other blogs and feeling increasingly guilty for not keeping my own blog up to date.
Work & personal life have been busy lately including the following;
- New chickens acquired and introduced to sole survivor of last group, all now settled in to pecking order and laying eggs (Bluebelle, Amber Star and Speckled) Named Miranda, Pippa & Kate Middleton by the girls!
- Daughters latest assignment for Conservation degree submitted with help from mum! I now know all about the physiological adaptations of cat tail reeds, common Heather and grass snakes...
- much needed trip away in MH over Easter break with dogs despite the showery weather
- new Aran knitting project started
- long overdue trip to Cumbria planned for next month to catch up with much missed friend
- greenhouse packed with seedlings including Kale, cucumbers, tomatoes, herbs, sunflowers, beans, cornflowers, radish, salad leaves & much more
- shallots planted

And Chinese meal planned for coming Friday with ex school girl friends - always a good laugh
Have a good week
