In the paddock chicken run our last remaining pure white Silkie hen is literally on her last legs. We had to carry her into the henhouse last night and this morning I put her in her own small house away from the activity of the other birds.

She has had a good long life of probably 9 or 10 years. Sleep easy and pass easy.

For those who love nature and animals and stories about The Gables, my first book Jews Milk Goats is available on Amazon worldwide.

I’ve started on book three with more tales of life on a small holding. This one might include recipes. What do you think?

The second book is on a completely different subject and is also available on Amazon and called Cohencidence

I’m switching contracts on Wednesday (all being well) so might not be in contact until the magicians perform their magic. Will be taking photos tomorrow as usual and experimenting with a 10 x zoom compared with my old and trusted 5 x zoom.

I put out bowls of water for the birds. Watch out for Nigel!
