#OnThisDay 15th November 2019. More chicken in the house shenanigans. One of our hens peeping around the door frame held, out of sight by my 12 year old daughter.

#OnThisDay 13th November 2016 A lovely walk in the woods near us. The same woods that the den photo I shared a few days ago was taken. These were taken after our walk in the car. Fun family days with feral kids and dogs. 😍

I’m looking forward to listening to this episode. I have three teenagers whose mental health was massively affected by the changes in the education system started by Michael Gove in 2010, just in time for my lot to start school!
Our education system isn't working.

#OnThisDay 12th November 2024, Aldo watching TV whilst holding a small soft toy. I can’t remember the program but it was likely ‘Dogs behaving badly’ which is one of his favourites.

#OnThisDay 11th November 2017, 11 year old twins in a den on a walk in local woods. These dens are made by the local kids and added to/altered regularly. I wish life was still so simple.

#OnThisDay 10th November 2016, my daughter with one of her hens. We used to rehome ex commercial hens when they came to the end of their profitable lives - only about 18 months. Our eldest one lived to 9 years old. I’m not sure which one this was but E would be able to name her. ☺️

#OnThisDqy 8th November 2023. At the White Horse, Brancaster, North Norfolk. A very Boojie establishment to appeal to the London set. This is my daughter posing on the sofa in the ladies loos.😂

#OnThisDay 6th November 2021, a slightly annoyed looking bluetit being gently held in my daughter’s fingers. She was training, under licence, to ring birds for scientific research. They are released unharmed after weighing, measuring and recording. Bluetits are one of the most feisty, bitey birds.

#OnThisDay 2nd November 2016. Bit of a dull photo today, sorry. This is an old pine console table I made into a wash stand for the downstairs loo.

Hellllllloooo? Are you there? Please help birds by sharing this if you also want to ensure swifts & other urban birds have homes alongside us. People power works but only if we work together. SAVE OUR SWIFTS.

#OnThisDay 1st November 2016. My then 10 year old daughter at her riding lesson on Black Jack. He was one of her favourite naughty ponies. She has her usual serious, deep concentration expression on and Black Jack looks as though he’s plotting his next naughtiness.

#OnThisDay 31st October 2016. I think I look particularly attractive in this photo. 9 years later, I’d probably be able to get the same effect with just the contact lenses.🤣

#OnThisDay 30th October 2018. My upcycled kitchen island, made from old school science cupboard, free salvaged Belfast sink rescues from landfill, bespoke sink/dishwasher hoisting made by local carpenter and reclaimed scaffold board worktop. I painted it Stiffkey blue and it’s still going strong. 🙂
