Bats in the Belfry!






We had a couple of visitors yesterday- two long-eared bats had roosted in our stairwell for the day. Don't think they liked our music as they didn't come back this morning!



Can you see our troll in these rocks?!!

sad post

Well it can't always be good news on here. We had a bit of a disaster- a fox got into our chicken corral and took all the chickens- it chewed through the electric wire in FOUR places then dug under the fence- I was away, Paul was at work, so the dogs were shut in the house and we can only assume the fox kept coming back throughout the day and helping itself to another meal. Luckily it didn't get the ducklings, rabbits or geese/goslings- but a real shame nevertheless.
The price you have to pay sometimes having free-range animals.
So the next project at the weekend is to super fox-proof the corral again, and start stocking up the hens and a new wife for mr duck who managed to survive.
