Breakfast in bed? I wish!

I have been up since 3am this morning.

Why?

Because the Universe has got me writing again,

which means early mornings,

before the day hits on me.

Its all right for some, though...

...she has breakfast in bed,

parks herself on top of the hay for the night,

then has nibbles of the hay she has been lying on,

for breakfast.

(Sorry about the poor quality of photo - dropped camera)

I have to get everyone up soon,

it's now 6.30 am,

Lester first,

cup of tea and toast in bed to get him up and going,

so he can go milking Lissie...

.... meanwhile, Bonny talks to me...

....and Ice Cream watches the two girls ...

.... who are going to start aggravating her at any minute now,

....because they are puppies, and can.

Ah, but one of these puppy girls has come of age,

and is having her first season.

We know this,

because Boolie has said that she is,

Bools being a male springer spaniel,

and willing,

but we say he can't,

so he has to stay with me all the time,

which he loves to do anyway,

because it was just him and me for years,

when Lester was working in the UK,

when his days were twelve hours long and more,

before we came here

to be smallholders

in France.

Breakfast for all then, 

that is what I am off to do.

Hope you have a good day,

we are plucking cockerels today,

did two yesterday,

two the day before,

we have about twelve to do,

we shall be plucking for a few days yet.

Why so many? 

Because we were donated a flock of chickens,

many of whom were cockerels,

and we have our own home grown cockerels

from our last batch of hatching eggs

to do as well.
Oops, need to get a move on!
Bye for now.
