I like the idea of keeping hens - freshly laid eggs would be delicious. However, the mess and wrecked garden stories I've heard put me off.andamentohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15338225798888415276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1286816260772009427.post-40383124143807681222010-04-18T15:30:32.863+01:002010-04-18T15:30:32.863+01:00Hi Simone, I just wanted to leave you my new addre...Hi Simone, I just wanted to leave you my new address..you're welcome anytime!

They were so lovely, I was so sad when they moved! Yours are gorgeous... have you chosen names yet? How about Lulu for one of them, maybe the shy one? Little Lulu just seems to roll off the tongue - I'm thinking you need nice easy ones to call in the morning when you go to greet them!Amanda and Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08459092806299564763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1286816260772009427.post-25790584344917520632010-04-18T09:50:49.019+01:002010-04-18T09:50:49.019+01:00I'm always hinting for us to get chucks!

I can see that I am going to have to pop down to the kitchen now and fix that sugar craving brought on by those pictures... :)<br /><br />I have to confess to not being too sure about having hens around me. I remember going to a tea room in Dorset years ago. We had afternoon tea in the garden and hens were pottering around freely under the table.
