Strictly speaking this is not my pic to upload as it was taken by Mr EG whilst I was holding Toby but two days on and he still hasn't claimed it so I am having it (it was taken with my camera at my request!)

My sister, Mum and Luca and Orla came to visit today, which was lovely. Orla really took a liking to Toby, whereas on other visits she has mostly ignored him.

Luca was a little scamp and let the chickens out of their run. Luckily they were easily retrieved but enjoyed their taste of freedom and the wee bit of gardening they got to do. Unfortunately they aren't able to differentiate between weeds and flowers so I can do without that kind of help in the garden!!
