Charles' rants

When I was brushing my teeth this morning, out of the window I spied almost seventy swallows sitting on the power line, so I took a photo. And when I went outside there were as many again on the line to the workshop, though it's sad they are thinking about leaving I am glad to see there are so many, as they had such a poor start with their first brood. 

I also note that we have had a lot of Swifts this year, more than I have ever seen here before.

Well Dee's done it again; as our eggs are so popular with our guests, we decided it was time to get two more chickens to keep up with demand. So off she went to "farmer MacDonald" to buy two more brown hens, however she also came back with a Light Sussex and 10 chicks.
