Sorry - I didn't get back in here before Martin's visit - and didn't take any photos

 

I think Martin enjoyed seeing our dirty eglus, we didn't make him clean any as it was getting a bit late and they would still be wet for hens bedtime.

 

He had a lovely clean white top on when he came................... now covered with little foorprints!

 

He's taken some eggs home to try and convince Dad.

 

I think Martin could persuade his Dad more easily if he started saving a bit more. A bit more than £6 Martin!

 

Fundraising ideas needed

[Mrs Frugal]

£6! Oh bless his cotton socks! Come on Martin!!

 

Wish you'd taken some photos though, Lesley! Never mind - I'm sure we can all imagine the white T-shirt with the little starfish feet patterns on ! We've all got matching shirts !

Glad it went ok. What did mum think of the eglu?

[Lesley]

She was surprised at the size - they thought it was much bigger. They liked the size and much more practical for their garden.

 

They didn't seem fazed at having to stand in all the poo on the lawn - we need more rain to wash it away.

 

Forgot to say - luckily, the weather forecast was wrong again and we have had a beautiful sunny afternoon. We didn't have to stand out in vile weather

 

Martin and his brother are lovely, well mannered boys. Martin is still very enthusiastic about the whole idea and still has orders for eggs!!!

I bet he had a lovely afternoon with you Lesley. Can't wait to hear his verdict!

[Cate in NZ]

His verdict is posted in the Visit an Egluowner section It sounds as if the visit was a resounding success

Well done Lesley - we can but hope Martin will get his eglu
