You know what isn't fun? Living in a 200 year old stone house, with no insulation, during a heatwave.
There's collapsed animals (not literally) and fans all over the place. 🥵️

The fox continues to prowl around our chickens. This morning we caught it in the GARDEN a few feet from our favourite chicken. Luckily the magpies warned us and we were able to scare it away.
It's not nice keeping the little cluckers cooped up in this heat, but needs must unfortunately.
Some goats, just goating around, watching me mow the field.
Little chicks are starting to venture out from under mum. 🐥
Proud Dad Moment
I had a real proud dad moment yesterday at my kids' sports day.
So you know how we have the incubator setup? Well, unbeknownst to me, my wife gave one of our broody hens a cluch of Guinea fowl eggs to sit on a month ago.
She just sent me this...
We have the incubator setup incubating a dozen eggs, including the last 2 our hen that was caught by the fox layed.
Expect regular updates. 🐣
Like we don't have enough animals already. This little black blob will be joining us on August.
Can someone who's more green fingered than me tell me is this is giant hogweed please?
It's all over one of our fields, so if it is I'll need to get someone in to get rid of it.
I can think of worse places to walk the dogs...
So a fox came into the field and took a chicken from right in front of us at dinner time last night.
Unfortunately we couldn't get to it in time. Our rooster tried, but he wasn't successful either.
We have her last egg, so we're gonna try and hatch it. 😟
