Rabbit

So we were trying out the minecraft homeschool when I popped out to put on the washing and found this!
Eek!
Dd8 is straight into looking after it. She told me the other day she wants to be a vet...which is continuing on from our last visit to the bird recovery unit.
Ds5 not so sure ... Is it a rabbit or a rat?
Vet says it's a pest...sigh
Argh do I really want to have peter rabbit in my house?If it's a rabbit and not a rat!



My girl friend managed to get some milk into him so it's still alive.

Lammas day

Im going to try bang this bread. If DD8 can get enough courage to get some eggs off of Penguin chicken...lol might just have to brave it me self.

gluten free honey oat bread

We'll also make normal mummy bread too to keep the masses happy

Up date:
Lol I crashed and burned with no energy....so I only made "Lammas bread" as it's now called. No photos as once it came out of the oven we devoured it!!
Ds5 was a no go but that's not surprising as he's not keen on anything. We all loved it....great toasted!

Chicken tractor

Building a chicken tractor has always been a challenge here.
Wind proof
Rain proof
Cat proof

This looks great..maybe plan b for future designs?

The Griffin cat

I love cats.
This is my Griff boy. He's about 9 years old. He's in pretty good nick even though he's had a few scrapes as cats go.
He loves hanging out with the kids...he's here in our reading nook

Some days he'll stay with us and sleep...but most of the time he's an outdoor cat

He will take up most of the bed at times

Beans fail!

I thought I could bottle some...no!

All the lids have popped but the screw top...humm would this mean they are ok? Would this mean tomatoes would be better in this jars?
