Hmmm, looks like our chickens have been having an unwanted visitor in the night. The recent covering of snow has preserved the evidence.

Foxy footprint
There are foxy footprints all over the garden and all over the roof of the chicken house! I'm very glad that we popped the house on a concrete plinth or I might have had an unpleasant discovery this morning!

Buttie
Poor old Butterscotch looks a little terrorised by the night-time scratchings so she'll be getting some extra corn this afternoon and a few grapes too. Must get round to knitting her a hat – she's still a little bald from her autumn moulting.

Christmas jigsaw

Where is November going? Has anyone else found that it seems to have had less days than it should have?

I had hoped to do a new calendar design for 2011 but have had to abandon that idea for this year. I’d also hoped to have my little christmas batch of animals ready by now, but at the moment most of them are still waiting for various limbs etc. It’s a bit of a jigsaw puzzle working out which legs to put with which head and then which dress or jumper suits them best.

I’m determind though to get them all done by the end of this week, so I had better go and get on with it! Will email the mailing list with details soon (I hope!) and in the meantime best wishes for a Happy Thanksgiving to all of my friends in the USA.
