Its been a busy few days hence the lack of blogging! I'm grabbing a few minutes while Grace naps to get upto date.

The weekend was 'birthday weekend' with both mine and Nick's birthdays only a couple of days apart. This year was Nick's 30th so we had a big bbq with friends and family. A magical afternoon and evening drinking the homemade elderflower champagne (a huge success), and homemade lemonade as well as eating mountains of food and ending the evening sat around the bonfire chatting with friends. Lovely.

During that party an idea was born and exciting things may be in the pipeline. Can't really say too much yet but a friend and i are meeting this week to discuss the idea and decide whether it's feasible so hopeflly i shall reveal more very soon.

The chicks are still growing at a phenomenal rate. Due to a delay in finishing the 'shed brooder' they are still in the kitchen but have really outgrown their giant guinea pig cage now and need the extra space. All being well they will move out tonight. The next lot of eggs will be going in the incubator next week and i have had preorders on some of these already!

Priorities for next week is to try and find time to ride the old lady which i haven't done for about a fortnight and she really needs the work and sort a run for the garden to get the chicks out on grass in nice weather
