A splendid start to the week 🙂
All the laundry done, the fruit cage door fixed and all the netting removed tidying it up, my raised beds with garlic in all re netted so everything growing is now chicken and turkey proof – yay! Although I did find five chickens in the polytunnel tonight so they may have just moved indoors for their buffet!
We got the whole footprint and runaway ditch trenches dug for the cob chicken house – lots of clay like stuff, some decent large stones useful for building too. Next step is to fill the trenches in with small stones for drainage but as rain is forecast over the next couple of days we’re planning to see how the water runs away (or not) and make any necessary amendments before filling in. Hopefully we get some dry weather at the weekend or early next week to start that.
The kids had been outside loads, Scarlett even paddled in the river – yesterday it was deliberate, today she just accidentally got a wet foot! 🙂 We got a very lovely Hotel Chocolat gift box from a Sussex friend which has been much scoffed and enjoyed, the kids now have waterproof over trousers that fit them.
I still have a HUGE job list but it does feel as though it is slowly getting smaller. Meetings tomorrow.
