Unusually for Olde Englande,it is a little cloudy today,with the possibility of some precipitation,but the forecast is for decent weather friday and saturday just in time for the visit of Gina and Andy,the hens are scrubbed and pomaded,and yesterday we had a visit from Alan of Withern our chicken sitter in the winter,he came to tell us he was treating his hens and their abodes for red mite,Sheila told him she had done the same but we have no sign of them,though he did check out our hen hut and came to the same conclusion.
His location is pretty much like ours up a lane but much quieter than our road,and I think a much older and quaint property,though very small,his wife is a potter but has not done much work as she is recovering from an illness,he was a merchant seaman and ambulance driver among other occupations,unfortunately for him he told me and Le blade he has been a scoutmaster,thus condemning himself to much mickey taking,such as "and do you have the police record to prove it"which I hasten to add is not true and just mischevious chatter,luckily he has good sense of humour and gives as good as he gets,both him and his wife are vegetarian so there is no fear of him"necking" our chickens for food during the winter,if they die it will be of natural causes. So thats it for now Dib Dib Dib. Graham
