One Man Banned Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 Trust Mel Paola She's had to go through all sorts of logic and reasoning to get (& Paul) to agree another Eglu Mel you could sort of be our Egluobjectionist Specialist. I can see the ads now..... "Got a problem convincing your other half to get an Eglu? Call Mel for a tailored reason to bamboozle the opposition!"

Mel (& Paul) Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 I have agreed with (& Paul) that we wont have any more chickens unless we can move to somewhere with more land. I havent agreed anything about bantums though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PurpleHen Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 Karen - gradually catching up with the forum as I've been away for a week How exciting!

Karen & co. Posted September 14, 2006 Author Share Posted September 14, 2006 It's Thursday now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! just wondering if I can justify taking the younger children out of school to come with me as they are really keen (might get my wrist slapped ) The poor girls will arrive to a rather wet garden shame as it was warm and sunny yesterday karen x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karen & co. Posted September 14, 2006 Author Share Posted September 14, 2006 Have they arrived yet? YES Drove up the M6 in the most torrential rain, couldn't believe the number of nutters driving like ....well nutters visibility was pants yet so many drove at top speed Adele from the BHWT had picked them up this morning from the farm, so they are a little shell shocked Anyway.... the girls are bedraggled and 2 have a limp they have the obligatory feathers missing, and don't quite know what to do with the grass under their feet, 2 went straight into the eglu and sat down Their combs are huge, floppy and very pale, and they are standing around looking very lost and suprised. The other girls are wandering around the garden and have been over to see what is going on, but don't seem too bothered I didn't take the children with me but Sarah's parting words as she went into school was 'Tell the girls I'll see them later' Mark moved the eglu while I was out and put it by the kitchen door so I can see them what a sweetie. Hopefully they will settle in and have a happy retirement karen x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
