Chickens
















































Here's some photos of the chicken house and chickens. The two black ones are Black Orpingtons and they are 16 weeks. The grey one is a Blue Orpington cockeral and he is 11 weeks. Tiffany is holding "fluff puff" and Elise is holding "feathers", two small shavers. There is 6 shavers in total, 2 are 13 weeks and 4 are only 7 weeks. So 8 chickens and 1 roster in total.
Toby converted the old playhouse into a chicken house and they all seems quite happy. And hopefully only another couple of weeks before they start laying.

Camping...so far










































We had an eventful trip to Quinneys Bush. I had to drive (Toby got gout a week before going, in his big toe) with the trailer. I was very careful driving and being courteous, especially with him beside me telling me what to do. Got to Spring Junction, refuelled, emptied bladders etc. Then decided to have lunch just outside of Springs. Carried on about 5 kms maybe. Stopped near a river and as I stopped the wheel fell off!!! So the trailer is getting fixed at the moment hopefully. Anyway, we got the Quinneys finally 2 and 1/2 hours later. Toby returned the next day and emptied the trailer out. Anyway having a great time. Kids are really enjoying it. In Nelson at the moment restocking and doing jobs. Photos are off Emma, Elise and Tiffany enjoying the waterslide. And of course me. I did it twice. Elise puts her hat over her face, so the water doesn't get in her eyes.
