STILL WAITING

Thanks Jo for all the info on Lucky and the birthing process, we are still awaiting the arrival of tiny paws, so cut the grass whilst we were waiting for Lucky to produce, I am a little apprehensive, especially after talking to our neighbour who had no end of trouble with the birth of her puppies and if she did not wake up, non of them would be here now......AAAAHHHH I dont think I can stay up for a wekk or so, just have to hope it goes Ok I guess, I dont know the date or it would be a lot easier...but Pete and Steve are away again this weekend so I expect it will be then!!!

WORN OUT

Sunny has had such a busy day...she stretched at 6am...had to rest till breakfast at 8am, after walking down the stairs she decided a little lay down was in order till noon. Had cardiovascular exercise...sunny fashion around the garden, rested before her evening meal, then crashed out after her hard day of work.....Oh to be a cat!

DIRTY GREAT BIG FLOWER BED!

Do you remember the great big heap of spare soil we didn't know what to do with?....Well Dad and I made it into a dirty great big flower bed .....as you come in the car park area, and I think it looks great....Does this mean JC Housing is diversifying???? Just need to plant it up now...well Jeff needs to plant it up and it will grow and look fine and dandy!..I think its great

ARTISTIC????

My unfinished sculpture has found a home, and I must say it looks might nice there... When I had time and lived in a far off land where you could do only 10 things at once and have your finger on only one pulse at a time, I used to like to sculpt.... But this land has gone and I doubt if I will visit it again....But it was nice to visit it, at least I can say I have been normal at some point...well actually most people would beg to differ that!

CHESS?

Hatty comes up to see us everyday, sometimes with her friends sometimes on her own, she is so friendly, she likes to stroll in the conservatory and have breakfast...ceral and toast... I did try to give her flap jack yesterday but it kind of stuck her beak together ...not the best plan for a chicken!...SO flap jack ejected and was told not to be so stupid!...So back to cornflakes it is then. Hatty seems to have taken a liking to the giant chess board that we made in the garden, she has scratched around so much on it that I need to repaint it!..Thanks Hatty...just coz I fed you flap jack...I thought you would have liked it!

PIGLETS ARE GROWING

The piglets are definitely in their naughty phase, me and tractor Annie cleaned them out yesterday and they were going loopy jumping and fighting all over the place, funny to watch though. Then Rosie came in (at this point tractor Annie hurdled the fence!) to tell them a few secrets of being a pig, the piglet listened to her for ages, really strange to watch. The piglets are about 4 ish weeks old now so another couple of weeks they will be off to their new homes.

ANDY AND ANT ON THE HOMEWARD STRETCH

The patio is going down now, Andy and Ant are on the homeward roll, it will be so odd without them here, but its all going to plan and we have all worked really hard to make this happen and on time....OH and then there is the Mr Harris!!! he has different rules!!...Go Alan Go...Tortoise time me thinks!

KITCHEN NEARLY IN

With a bit more tilling and a bit of tidying, the kitchen in Little Toms Cottage is almost done...designed by yours trury!!!, the electrician is lagging behind....HARRIS where are you!!!..But the rest of us are on the ball, but it is really coming together now, there are a lot of bits to do inside that will take a while, but the outside is looking just dandy now!

SPRING?

Well you wouldn't have known it was spring a couple of days ago, with all the hail and snow, but today you can see Spring is definitely in the air, snowdrops and daffs all out, and things are looking quite pretty here now, it gives you hope that winter and up to your knees in mud is almost over....well for a month or so!!!
