What a day

I was up at 6am and dressed in my best togs for an important meeting in Edinburgh. Went to let chickens out before I left, opened hen house and the two mature ladies appeared. Opened pullets house and all was quiet, looked in and the house was empty. I must have closed an empty house last night.

Called them and they answered from neighbours garden. Went next door and searched eventually finding them up neighbours tree. They would not come down so I ended up climbing the tree. Not sure what the neighbours would have thought to find me up their tree at 6 am in my best clothes!!

At last I enticed them down and back in their own by which time I was 30mins late in leaving.

Meeting went well and dinner with teenager and student friends before returning to hotel. Tonight hubby will need to deal with chickens who are already looking over at the tree.
