The kids have been great about missing out on our planned trip to France- they have made do with some croissants and Camembert, but it is not quite the same!
So, today we decided to collect some long awaited chickens for the garden. We had promised them for some time, and Easter seemed a good time to get them. We thought they would be a great focus for the kids too during the next phase of my treatments.
We drove out to a local poultry farm and they chose out one each.
Dan chose a grey speckled one called Spike, Emily's is pure white and she has called her Fizzy, and Tara picked out a gorgeous brown hen -Caramel. So, the garden is full of clucking and squealing and the poor hens are trying to settle in. The kids were told that if they pet them and stroke them they will become very tame and friendly!!!
I really will have to get on with the pics........
