I live here now! :)

Got a letter in the post this morning with no house name on it but still delivered to me -- does this mean I'm a local now?  :)

The Whole Menagerie!

We seem to have acquired quite a few animals in the span of less than a week so here is a photo gallery of everybody who lives at Sparrowhall now:

The four black chickens here are from the original set of chicks that hatched on 28th March so 13 weeks old now.  The white one is a cockerel that we got on Saturday (his arrival was slightly overshadowed by Cookie) -- he's about 12 weeks old and the plan is for him to be the cockerel once we take the head off ours.

The black one here is the fifth from the lot above, the white hen on the right is the birth mummy of all the chicks, the little bantam is the one who sat on and raised the first lot of chicks, and the cockerel is mean and nasty and we are eating him just as soon as we can...

Cookie obviously needs no introduction...  :)

In the centre of this picture is the VERY shy duck and her 11 ducklings...

This is Freya, looking bored and fed up with the world...

And this is the other bantam hen with her chicks (there are five even though you can only see four here) which were born on 30th May so 4 weeks old now.

AND THESE ARE THE SHEEP!  MY 14 YEAR WAIT IS OVER!!!!  :)

And then there's me and Danny, so that's 35 animals and 2 people.  Sounds like a reasonable ratio to me...

COOKIE COOKIE COOKIE

She's here!  SO ADORABLE!!!!!

In other news, there's rhubarb, the gift that keeps giving...  :)

And the tomato tunnel as I've now renamed it...  :)

Duckies!

Look what Danny just came home with!  Mummy duckie and her 11 little ducklings!!!!!
