First Duck Egg, Chickens Busy Too

Here she is! Isn’t she beautiful? And today she has laid her first ever egg.

I had a look in the shed, and found four chicken eggs and the wonderful duck egg. Hopefully some of our ladies will start sitting soon. Guess we better start making mayonnaise, pickled eggs and lemon curd.

And while I am here, I thought I’d publish a photo of the willow that I pruned recently. We prune it right back each spring, before it starts budding, so that we have plenty of thin branches to tie-in our vines. It is not difficult, if yours looks roughly like this you’ve done it right.
