Helping . . .

Bonny the Bantam!  Because she was being bullied by the other hens, she was in her own little house and run and was safe when the others were killed last weekend.  Now she's on her own, Ollie and I try and spend more time with her.  Although she wasn't in the big pen with the others, at least she could hear them and call to them.  Ollie is very good with her, and they get on pretty well, but I keep a close eye on them!

Today I was lifting tatties, and she was doing her best to help!  

J and Scratch and Cath round in the evening for supper and scrabble.  Pork with prunes, which was a great success, followed by a blackberry frangipane tart, with plenty of custard especially for Mike!  He's not a scrabbler, so gallantly did all the washing up while we played then took himself off to watch the footie!
