Poor Toffee has hurt her foot.

Toffee

No-one is very sure how it happened but it seems most likely that she caught a toe when coming down the ramp one morning. She is limping and unable to scratch around as chickens like to do so is spending much of her day sitting.

Hopefully it's just a sprain and will start to get better soon but for now we're
all taking care of her and the other two chickens are spending a lot of
time sitting with her which is quite touching. I'm at a bit of a loss to know what to do but will see how she is after the weekend – I'm hoping she'll be OK. Apart from chicken nursing, we'll be spending the weekend preparing for Amy's ballet show on Sunday and I'm sure I'll have lots of pictures to show off afterwards! Enjoy your weekend where you are.

weekend stuff

We had a busy weekend with a lot of ballet rehersals for Amy. There's only a week to go before her ballet school perform Cinderella at the local theatre and Amy is Cinderella's shadow (as you might imagine she's very excited!) So that meant a lot of sitting around for me – not too bad when you've got a bag full of crochet to keep you busy! I'm working on lots of different bits at the moment which I hope will one day become a collection of cushions!

There was also a little garden time. Everything is growing like mad and there are loads of strawberries ripening.

We learnt our lesson from last year and picked them quick before the birds or the slugs could tuck into them.

They tasted good!
