Gone

Our chickens love their perch on the tyres surrounding our mulberry tree!

Today our beautiful little Chickpea died :-( How can such a little ball of fluff manage to wiggle its way into our hearts and make us feel so sad when it died?

I had a very intense couple of hours with a neighbour this afternoon talking through marriage and children issues. She has no one to talk to about these things. People just don't want to be open and talk about their struggles with each other. It seems though that they don't mind opening up to the foreigner.
