Christmas time at darling H.Q.......

Its all very headless chicken time here, but I thought you might like to see the homestead , with the decks up :


here we have the little prim bird tree, that sits in the kitchen ......


then theres the tall slender artifical tree , that houses our vintage glass bauble collection--Mr Finn did this tree, I was most impressed--I didnt have to change a thing !


mostly vintage , with a little bit of the new....


its hiding the wall clock, but space is a little tight in our cottage, but cosie :)


blackberry and white chocolate muffins to eat ( I needed space in the freezer, so it was a nice make with the blackberries )


Our lovely town of Cardigan.......


the real tree in the dinning room , smelling of pine and holding home made decorations....
Dottie-May, dressed this tree and very nice too !



and my ingle nook, showing my stencils for the windows .....


fingers crossed we get everything done in time,

hugs and squeezes to you all,
love

Batten down the hatches !!!

Well goodness me, I must not grumble, but my chucks will !!


We have had some terrible weather here, and rain for nearly three weeks solid and lots of wind and gales.
My sweet pekin chickens have really been through the mill a bit, so I thought it would be a good idea to spruce up the ark and move it to a fresh spot.


So I decided first to place the ten wee angels into a dog crate, as you can see Kitty helped out by keeping an eye on them whilst I got on with the work :)


I managed to drag the ark to a better spot and gave it a quick paint of pink to cheer us all up a bit. As you can see Henny Penny and buffy really liked what I had done with the place.


Cocky Locky, gave it a good strutt around too ......


Henny looked dazzled by it all......


Shaggy , was most impressed with his nicer surroundings....


Pepper, wanted to get really close to say thank you.


A meeting was called , and it was agreed....they were very happy indeed !


and to celebrate, they laid me an egg.


they also displayed some acrobatics, for my enjoyment.


I have to say they are the sweetest lil creatures I ever knew, I had them from a few days old and they wont be one till february, but despite this cold and wet spell they still manage to squeeze out the occassional egg or two. Bless their little souls and hopefully now they wont blow off to Oz.

By the way, if you would like to own some lovely Pekin chickens, and are in the uk, then do contact the lovely Josh on 07837185112, and he can post some sweet babies out to you.

I have owned a few different breeds over the years, but I can honestly say that the pekin chicken has the sweetest nature and is so friendly and productive. They are easy to handle and lay small eggs, but have the same size yolk as a large egg.

They are a joy !!
