See those tears in the roof of the polytunnel? Yeah, so did the wind...
To be fair, the plastic we put up there was not designed for the purpose and does not have UV protection, but it was free, so... We had attempted to patch some of this a few weeks ago, but clearly today's wind had other ideas.
In the meantime, in case it suddenly comes off spectacularly all in one go, we've moved Hedge Hen and her chicks into a run for safety. Seeing as how it's otter season, we've put one of the runs we used for chicks earlier in the year down on concrete and weighted it thoroughly so hopefully the otter won't be able to lift it and definitely won't be able to burrow under it.
Why do the otters come this time of year? Is it because there's less food in the sea for them now? Or is it because there's more darkness and they can therefore travel further when hunting? Answers on a postcard please....
In other news, we got a new sofa/pull out bed for Freya -- she definitely approves! :)
