August 2014


This month we spent quite a lot of time in the garden.  We planted a passionfruit vine, a lemon, mandarin, orange and lime tree.  I made good progress on my latest crochet project.  Our chickens began to lay and the kids really got into looking after them which was great.  Hayley & Emma enjoyed time at the Ekka.  The end of the month saw us start to enjoy the warmer weather.  I also made time to smell the flowers of course.

Meet the Girls

About 5 weeks ago we added 4 chickens  to our list of pets.  We made a few additions to the coupe so that we could lock them up at night and let them out when it suits us in the morning.  We are hoping to keep the noise down by doing this, what this space to see if it works!


It has taken us a while to name our girls, but here they are:-


Hayley's - Ariana


Emma's - Nimrod



Mine - Henrietta or Hetty


David's - Chicken Dinner.

We were very excited last week when we got our first egg on Friday.


Over the weekend we have gotten another 5, so we are well on our way.
