My new little friend

In the quail house the four teenage chicks eat from my hand every day. Sometimes I grab one (against its will) and give it a stroke and a cuddle. Today was the turn of the smallest bird

She wasn’t delighted – but I was happy

Outside I can’t decide which one is prettier, Surprise the August lamb

Or Ruthie the May kid

Final post of the day (probably).

On Friday I took some halloumi to some nearby friends. Here’s what they made

Fried slices sprinkled with oregano and served with warm cranberries. In return they gave me a recipe for savoury flapjacks
I adapted it to suit what I had in my fridge and store cupboards
It is simply delicious and will become a favourite Exchange is no robbery !
