Hens are up in price, the trader wanted 8 euros a bird this year, but I got a deal at 5 euros for babies. Being young, I hope they survive the unseasonably cold weather at the moment, and it may be a few weeks before they are old enough to lay. The fence is in reasonable condition after the sheep pulled it down repeatedly last year. I can't say it is fox proof until I have had a good look, the grass is very overgrown? But as it has rained for 7 days straight and looks like rain and hail for the next 7 days so I am confined to the house. This is good news for finishing the book which is a bit behind schedule as usual.
i like (understatement) how you live.
ReplyDeletethe link you sent before to your bed and breakfast, your ability to live hard and close to the land, your love of your children, your self searching and writing - for all its faults and pain, this is (it seems to me) a good good life.
