The garden.

I just love the colour of the Aubrietia this time of year. The evening colour is even more intense, and is almost electric purple in its hues! See extra for an alternative shot of the garden.

The boy has done good! Webster is a Dad and we have had 12 beautiful chicks from the eggs we set in the incubator. Only two did not come to anything. Pictures of these fluffy bundles tomorrow I think. Miss H has another incubator full of Buff Orpington eggs at her dadswhich she will transport here tomorrow. These are also on the verge of hatching. We will be knee deep in chicks ! Just got to sell them now.

Summer Term started today and Little Miss was off to school again.

The warm sunny weather continues, but we do so need rain. The grass is just not growing and we need it to fatten the lambs. None in sight for quite a while.
