Mrs Down's Diary

I recommend egg hatching for a hobby AROUND me the dining room floor is covered in a mosaic of tiny pieces of egg shells.

A bird of prey, but not a cattle mart to be seen I THINK John must have been gifted with bionic eyes. He can see, and identify, birds and now it turns out whales (or is a basking shark a fish?) while I am still scanning the horizon hoping to spot a blob.

An osprey wheeled above us on the tree line topping the hill "JUST hold that torch steady will you" came the voice from the gloom. "I need to see which of these strawberries are ripe enough to eat and I can't do that if you're just waving it about in any direction."

Mayhem as Pip searches for unusual tastes PIP'S appetite for new and unusual tastes is undiminished. Our young Labrador will attempt to eat anything.

Ivy is to have a little show off in field trials

Swallows are nesting in the trailer again

Tempting the flock home with food

The pewits will soon feel as if they are in the jungle

Lambing leaves a trail of straw to the bedroom

Zero chance of your fish going in the freezer

Waiting for the guinea fowl to lay their eggs

Tragedy waited in the yard for John's return
