5th July 2026 - And a new Peahen

Thought for the day :"I was going to take up stargazing. But have you seen the prices of telescopes? They're astronomical!"

Nice to have the Rodger Family with us for another day - they popped off to see Cilgerran Castle and back for roast chicken dinner and a brain 

Charley thinks it may be a
dolphin brain as it is so big

3rd July 2026 - Garden Strimming and Lawn Cutting

Thought for the day :"I have a pet tree. It is like a pet dog but the bark is quieter."

Dry 

Did some work in the Romany Caravan next door and took some photos for Charlotte to see what needs to be done strimming the main way .. But the meadow is cut and the fairy lights are working again and switched on ...

Meanwhile on my land - cut the lawns and cleared the grounds to the lower quarter 
Strimmed the main lawns and used the bit mulcher on the waterfall and the pontoon 

Luckily visitors arrived to allow me to take the rest of the day off 

Lily and Tom

Charlie and Nan

2nd July 2026 - And pallet seat is found

Thought for the day :"I just opened my fridge, and got a strong smell of basil. I think it must be faulty.."

1st July - Chris Work Day - Open Mic vids

Thought for the day :"I just heard a woodpecker call me paranoid in morse code."

Dry

Tasks for the day:

Trailer had to be emptied of the pallets and the Crimson Moon Road signs that had been there wince last week  - once empty :

To Sarah's for the remainder of the short poles for the river bank supports 

Picked up the whelping box that we are turning into a brooding box for the peachicks

Create a proper wire mesh top for the top to stop rat incursion  

Move Nancy's Margee under cover and stack all the poles up 

Collect the interior door that we will use to put on the chicken run to replace the current door

Collect aluminium fruit cover from Capel Iwan and bring back - think that we can use one section as the door to the aviary - and the rest will be used to support the aviary frame 

Not much to show for a day's work but it is another nibble at the elephant

Susie planted out her beans - hopefully this, the third attempt, will prove more successful and they will grow this time without being eaten ..

Susie off to Nancy's tonight for an overnighter and is going fishing tomorrow from Saundersfoot 

I am uploading videos from the last month ... 

Cheers
