The article has appeared at last... not a good photo of me at all, nor of Ruby Tuesday - He said he'd take a flattering shot of her too...poor old bendy beak

Thats a great picture! well done you!

[Mrs Frugal]

Eggcellent !!

[The Dogmother]

Well, they managed not to mis-quote me this time.

 

Oh, and Ruby disgraced herself on the sofa *holds nose*

[surferdog]

You both look gorgeous! Well done

[chickencam]

Lovely photo, shame about the sofa

[The Dogmother]

Luckily it's washable - beige velvet... my one extravagance.... but it washes well

[WitchHazel]

Ooh,well done Clare!

[Tina C]

You both look lovely. And its a nice article too.

 

Do you realise we now all more or less know where you live and can gatecrash that rave Clash City Rocker has been plotting?

(mod that if you want)

[Egluntyne]

Great article.

Feel free; the more, the merrier.

 

Thanks Tina, I hadn't noticed my address in there, so have blacked it out.

*humph* Why is it Clare is in a well-written flattering article and when I get interviewed about chooks, it is the worst piece of journalism and editing the world has ever seen?

*muttering*

[The Dogmother]

I must say that I thought of you when I read it Rhapsody They haven't mis-quoted, just got it out of context and made the hen parties sound all fluffy, which wasn't what I said at all

[Nicola H]

Well done Clare.............And Ruby Tuesday lovely pic.

[Guest]

Nice article

 

You are NEVER that old!

 

But I'm glad I have designer Eglu's. I AM Essex woman personified.

 

Shame I was a bit squiffy last night when I did my Essex Girl acrylics.

 

Oh well - now I wonder if its OK to carry my designer Eglu down to the country club with me. It won't fit in my Chanel tote (FAKE - canal Street NYC!) or be picked up in the reflection of my Chanel sunglasses... (real, John Lewis Sale - I bought them half price as an anniversary present, a few weeks after I kicked my husband out!).

[The Dogmother]

You are NEVER that old!

 

too kind! But he missed out the 'and a half'!

[Helly Welly]

That's a really nice article Claret. They make hen parties sound weird though, as if we get together just to talk about keeping chickens. And there was me thinking that hen parties were for teaching people about chicken keeping.

 

I can just picture a load of us sat round an eglu, comparing notes on chicken poo.

 

Mind you, we do that on here everyday anyway

[The Dogmother]

And I was sooo careful not to make them sound 'fluffy' too .

 

Perhaps they took that from something Omlet said when he interviewed Johannes *shrugs*

[Seagazer]

Lovely

[ubereglu]

It's a good article on the whole though Clare!

[Lesley]

I think the photos are OK Clare - shame about your sofa though

 

I could only just read the article so I'm collecting any missing bits in here

[Charlottechicken]

Brilliant Clare

 

But why do they have to call them

designer chicken coops

[The Dogmother]

True, and they mis-quoted me about 'wooden hutches' - we never even discussed the alternatives to eglus, just talked about mine and the girls.

[lizinsa]

I think the Hen Parties are made out to sound 'fluffy' because they are called parties rather than courses, and we've seen today with the Waitrose Woman article, the liberties journalists and editors take!

 

I like the name, it makes it seem much more informal and think it will have attracted people to them.

[kannie]

Great Claire! I found it a bit scary with the Good Housekeeping one, not knowing what they're going to print, and whether they'll get things straight or not. I don't have much faith in journalists. And I don't know why they always have to put ages in!
