Some more of the ordinary

Our first blueberry blossom

The weather has been glorious recently, so we have been out enjoying the garden.  We have sown some seeds but so far haven't really got that much done.  But it has just been lovely to spend the days outside.

Playing a game of superheros with dandelions and grass as the superheros!

Tristan has built me a raised bed this year, so far I have sown carrots, radishes, onions and garlic.  The blackcurrants and rhubarb behind are doing really well 

We are loving having the chooks.  Unfortunatly Gammy had to go, it wouldn't be long until the neighbours complained.  However the girls seem much happier without him as he was quite a bully to them.  Anyway, this is Eggbert (Rowans chicken) who is apparently a boy that will lay an egg as Rowan doesn't want a girl chicken!  I love the way her black feathers shine kind of greeny iridescence.

In this photo is R2D2 (Reuebens bird), Fluff (Daddys bird) and Big Mama (no surprises that she is my one!).  Fluff and Big Mama are laying us an egg most days now and they are yum yum!  We did have a bit of an issue with their poo though and even though it is lovely to have them roaming around our garden, we have fenced them off now as their poos are huge and very frequent!  Will try to get a decent photo of their area and put it up.

We have a lot of helicopters flying over us as there is a navy base about 10 miles away, but this one was quite unusual and caused a lot of excitement.

Easter crafts

Our first half dozen!

The first crop of rhubarb, in my new basket (it is quite sad how excited i got over using it, but I did and I loved it!)
