Bi-monthly?

Sorry everyone when i get caught up in other things i forget the important ones sometime lol, the trouble is i have not written a list (as i usually do) of all the important things that have happened each month....(smack wrist!!) I will try and remember what i can so please except my senior moments if i forget things...i am sure people will remind me later lol. So July...
My mum came over from Ireland which meant we had lots of visitors so that was good....drink, barb-q's and chatting were the order of the day :)
With the school summer holidays i had a chance to do all the jobs i wanted especially with the animals and jobs around the house and garden....which i sort of nearly finished. The first was to clean out the chicken coop and run and aquire new chickens....which we did :)
These are our morans which lay a lovely dark chocolate coloured egg.
These are our Jasmins, they look a littel plain but they lay lovely light blue eggs...quite striking :)
Lastly one of the new brahmas, we bought 3 including a striking sussex colour which unfortunetly died last month. Just as i thought we had enough birds i mentioned to kim the breeder had young buff orpingtons and we ended up with 2 more lol.
August was a crappy month weather wise with the odd sunny day thrown in, with Kims leaving date from working with the NHS looming up we looked at ideas for income...we even purchased a market stall to sell our wares from such as home produced honey, fresh eggs, bagged hay and bespoke crafts
We have signs out the front of the house which look a lot more tasteful than i realised lol
and thats it nothing else for the summer hols :) September is a little different which i will do later...another grandchild, a Wedding anniversary, our 1st rabbit show, guinea pigs and a new car lol l8rs people :)
