It was a sad week last week as we lost one of our chickens to a fox. It was 11am in the morning, broad daylight and the chickens were out in the garden and he just came in and grabbed one and then tried to come back for another one. Nigel scared him off with his air rifle but I am sure he will be back now he knows they are there. Sorry girls but you won't be able to have free reign of the veggie patch for a while now.
Well, I suppose it is December so I will have to get organised and start putting up the Christmas trees and decorations in the cottages ready for the arrivals on the 21st. We are half full for Christmas and New year so not too bad. I think people are saving their pennies this year and are going to see what next year will bring.
My family are coming down the weekend before Christmas for a few days so that is something we are both looking forward to. Hopefully it won't snow again like last year and they all can make the journey down.
Just off to clean out the polytunnel and start digging in the manure ready for next year.
