Nice Ground – what league?

Teenagers are expensive and the growing quailettes need protein rich crumbs

I had to buy them on eBay and they arrived today. The chicks seem to be eating plenty so I will probably have to order a second bag.

The birds look funny and awkward as their adult feathers begin to grow giving them a white back and a baby yellow head. Click below

The women will also take several footpath walks and have time to chat and eat and relax and, if they are lucky with the weather, sit in the sunshine.

I just finished picking the chickpeas and the cows are enjoying the left over stems and leaves. Click below

I took a photo of the adult quails to remind me that the quailettes have a way to go (and grow).

From our capital city, in Mayfair, son just sent this photo with the ironic comment “austerity bites”. Our society is not just divided on Brexit but between the haves and the have nots.

When I finally picked and shelled the lentils this was the tiny (precious) yield. Enough for half a portion when cooked!

Today I started to pick the chickpeas and sort into green (for roasting fresh) and brown for drying. They are yielding more than the lentil plants and I hope to grow them again next year but in larger quantities.

Before our Wednesday walk we helped set up the table for coffee at St Denys

Inside this mug was a rather large spider

We set it free and got out a different mug.

Back at home Dianne was making friends with the quails.

You can look but don’t touch!
