Broody number 5

(Problems downloading yesterday so this is a 'back blip'.)
Early morning housework then out for lunch. The day just got better and better. In spite of a dire weather forecast the sun came out and it was a beautiful afternoon. Took Bracken on a walk up towards the moor top. Heather is out and everywhere the views were stunning.
Hen duty, and I tended 'the girs' next door and R's 'girls' down the village. One of them is broody so when I fed the other four who are free ranging I wasn't surprised to see number 5 sitting in the nest box. I was instructed to put my hand under to get at the eggs. She looked so indignant and gave me several pecks and I really felt guilty at taking away her 2 eggs.
(Sequel, this morning when I went to let them out, all 5 stepped down the ramp, all is forgiven!)
