It is lovely have got married again, retired, and now do what I want too - and what gives me a great sense of achievement and satisfaction. <BR/><BR/>Which is growing as must food, and being as self sufficient in all areas of my life that I can.<BR/><BR/>Just me, bumbling along in my own way.

I have looked through many Blogs and passed on leaving no trace no footprints or messages but somehow there is something about this one which attracts me again and again. Am I wishing to aspire to this type of lifestyle ? Is it the hens ? The personal touch ? Or some unknown force ?

That is the breeders names for them, but in reality they are rhode island red crossed with another good egg layer to get the best of the two.<BR/><BR/><BR/>MOLLY<BR/>Thanks for all your tips, they now seem back to normal and laying light brown speckled eggs and none eaten. I think it might be safe to take the golf balls out now!<BR/><BR/>HB<BR/>Thanks for that, your house looks like a palace. <BR/><BR/>I was thinking back this morning to the photos you had of your dad cutting down the trees, and how sad it all looked later when you had moved the fence and the garden kept flooding - those poor, but tough, broad beans.. What a difference a few months make.<BR/><BR/>MRS N<BR/><BR/>I am closely following your blog, and looking forward to seeing your husband getting on with the vegetable patch. Sounds like you might have an idea of selling some produce if you are getting your soil tested. Good luck with it.<BR/><BR/>HELLO DIANA<BR/>Nice to talk to a name, I can picture you now. Thanks for your lovely comments - and please do keep in touch with your harvesting and anything else you want to share. It is really nice to get feedback and to hear how others are doing.<BR/><BR/>HI PATSY<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the rain, it finally arrived today but not much. The chooks are definitely happy and really enjoying the fresh fruit they are eating - enough for all of us thoughAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17243672302584272760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15646653.post-1152287789991400812006-07-07T16:56:00.000+01:002006-07-07T16:56:00.000+01:00Hi there - no longer anonymous from NYC!
