I agree full heartedly! Oh btw Andy, you should really join the Christmas swap!

Just about to stand bail for you there, PL. 'Free The Forum One'

Great photos. I keep meaning to do the NHM Spirit Collection tour but other stuff always gets in the way!

That is my most favourite place in London. Thank you for the close-ups - they are awesome. It was my favourite place inside too - the outside used to be black so I never really gave it much of a look! What a joy to see the colourful bricks when all that muck was cleaned off, so now it's my favourite inside and out!

Patsy - it's a floor mat so it will be mooshed and squashed and cuddled (dribbled, upchucked and possibly widdled too) and nobody will notice the bits that you aren't happy with. But it will definitely be loved. Also guilty of not finishing my first quilt too. It's up the top of the pile but avoided - probably because nowadays rotary cutting is bliss, rather than cutting round templates with scissors. The sewing machine is faster too - that one is all done by hand!

Daffers is 'on point' there I also feed Smallholder pellets, I do occasionally add the following, just because I have it around: seaweed, cod liver oil, biotin. I occasionally get a bag of Dr Green's Co***** Layers Mash, which they really love. I feel that it's a bit rich though, so cut it in with the pellets. It's especially good at this time of year when they need extra support to re-feather and gain extra condition for the winter. Mine won't touch anything by Dodson & Horrell - they're not remotely fussy eaters, just consistently turn their beaks up at it. I also don't feed corn, but a mix from the local feed store of their duck and goose feed, with their poultry tonic seed mix - not fattening, but sufficiently tasty to get the little cluckers interested

I feed my bantams marriages pellets. Layers when they are in lay and growers for youngsters or when they aren’t laying. I found they turned their beaks up at cheap, own brand pellets - so much so that they stopped laying - but were much happier to eat marriages with flubenvet at working time, so they’ve had them ever since. In addition they have a tiny handful of mixed corn at bedtime unless they’ve had other treats - sunflower hearts or live mealworms - which are also what I use when I need to put them back in their run.

I also feed my bantams on Smallholders layers pellets and I make them a pellet porridge at night with it - they love it!!!

Just thought I'd put a note on here in case you've missed it. There's a Christmas craft swap being planned by Luvachicken. Doesn't matter if you don't have time she doesn't take no for an answer. I've made 2 A4 size quilts for a challenge on the theme of through the window I'll share with you. It's supposed to be views through the back window of a coach
