This week's visitors

Firstly we had another death in the hen house. Blanche the big white hen finally died, but she had been ill for some weeks and wasn't happy. It's sad because she was my favourite, the one who survived the massacre a couple of years ago with a huge hole in her back. But she healed well and walked bravely with a limp, and let me stroke her and pick her up, which the others don't. I'm sad to see her go.
Then after I walked the dogs, we took my brother and his girlfriend into Saintes to see the monthly market, and a few of the Roman sights.
Here they are in the park, shame about the (fake) heron which seems to have taken up residence on Ann's head!
