The garden is getting horribly overgrown. Our strimmer won't be fixed, and the friends we've asked to help are too busy. I have a house on the market in Liverpool, and if it sells, we are determined to get electrical garden equipment - strimmer, hedge trimmer and chainsaw - all using the one battery. meanwhile, we are overwhelmed by metre-high thistles!

The salad garden is doing okay, although the celery that lasted through the winter has gone to flowers - so we eat the flowers. The borage has taken very well, although it is now threatening to take over. Not as successful as last year, unfortunately.
The six chickens, well settled in and not scared of us any more.
There are two types - three that are a slightly darker brown, with straight beaks, and three that are more gingery, with beaks like a dodo's. These are the two ringleaders of each type: Ginger on the left, and Sparky on the right.
Ginger - who has the most contorted beak of the Dodos, but is otherwise very beautiful
Sparky (short for Bright Spark) is constantly on the alert, checking out the run - we think she's head of the escape committee
A very nice crop of eggs - four a day, now.
