'well.......I never'

Well......I never i actually found out that hubby has allways wanted a pet cow, and kept asking his parents for one when he was small...lol.... well he's got one now....ME....LOL...

I honestly think he is getting used to the 'good life' idea, he doesnt grumble anymore when i ask him to help me in the garden, and has said he wants to buy an incubator.....espcially when he seen how much the young geese were going for...
PLUS..... he doesnt tell me we cant have a smallholding anymore...so he is def getting used to the idea..

sadly the chicks we bought a few weeks ago all died..was well gutted, the only thing i can think of it was too long in the cold in the auction, and the chill had set in.

been having a good few weeks.... managed to sell some vintage things in work so i can offically add another £500 to my total...

went to the arm auction again this weekend, was meaning to take htings to sell, but we got up late. bought a pair of young red silkies which are sooooooooo cute, and this year's hatch

and a white pair which are older...they were in a box so couldnt see them properly, and when we got them home their feet/legs are in very poor condition...so will be treating htem over the next week or so
