I'm quite well Jack, I went into town this morning, got trapped in traffic as a huge vehicle was blocking the road through the next village along. So I gave up and went somewhere else instead, bought some new pyjamas and slippers. My life is really exciting
How's things with you?

Goodness - 62 is a lot of eggs. If I was nearer I'd certainly come over and buy some. We do get good local eggs, delivered by our milkman (proper milk in bottles, from a local herd). Occasionally one of our village friends drops in with a half a dozen eggs from their hens.
We'd keep chickens too, but our garden is so steep there is nowhere for a coop or a shed. Apparently dad had a greenhouse here for a short while, but it got blown away. We live in the moorlands, it's cold and windy and bleak.
I think the nearest thing to livestock I'll ever keep is bees. One day, somehow. We'll have to see.

ahh good to see you well my eggs are mostly for the pub and the school, so i just give them away to people so none gets wasted! and i was going to suggest that you make a small hutch, put it on stilts to make it level and fill it with dry straw and then a little chicken food, hens find anything like that and you might be surprised with the results i have been sorting out wood and the like for the winter, the missus broke the kitchen table last night making bread, so i'm going to have to fix that later on too, but were pritty much ready, the fruit has been crap this year as bees were rainned back in the hives so no pollonation took place at the right time, so only about a third of the fruit crop and what was there was so bad the missus has been canning it and making jam out of it so we have fruit over the winter, sold off the last of my Ash tree crop, got enough money to keep us going for another year with that so were quids in, might buy the missus a new pair of wellies and also i can repair my tractor too! the new paddock will be ready in the spring, i must admit thats going to make my life alot easier too,
Jack
