Eggs, logs and VIPs

Another month passes and things continue to change. The hens have started to lay! Just when I was beginning to think we were going to get no eggs - three all on the same day.

The first eggs

and since then, they've been laying thick and fast 

 Our winter heating has arrived....

Half the load - 5 cubic metres, to be unloaded

..unrolled, and then stacked and covered to keep it dry - a days work for yours truly!

We had VIP guests......Buckingham Palace one day....

Lynne and Les, collecting Les's OBE

.......Vue de Duras the next.......!

Lunch at Vue de Duras

We finally explored a couple of our local golf courses ...lovely weather and beautiful courses and the golf wasn't too bad either!

Another egg.......

How exciting is it to find a fresh laid egg?

We have had some beautiful weather lately, cold and misty mornings and warm afternoons, as well as a little rain (but not much!)

Our appearance on tv has been put back a week, due to the extra Coronation Street a couple of weeks ago. We may have a little 'taster' appearance tomorrow, and then in episode 8 which is now on 7th November, episodes 11 and 12  on 28th November and 5th December.

The blog you've been waiting for!

I've been in two minds about publishing this one - but here goes.....

The date for the tv programme we were involved in has been released! It is called 'Little England' and starts at 8pm on Saturday 12th September on ITV. There are twelve episodes and I have no idea which episodes we will be in - or even if we have made the final cut.

I will be watching from behind the sofa - please be kind to us!

I apologise in advance for anything stupid I said or did in front of the camera - they MADE us keep saying how excited we were about everything!
