Oddity of my week - when one of our chickens lays an egg that doesn't have a fully formed shell. Very pleasing to play with & surprisingly robust #littlecluckers 1/2

Amazingly, I still have a copy. No recollection of when or where I acquired it. Will have to re-read as I'd *completely* forgotten this glorious nugget.

I mean I'm not Catholic, but I would definitely be interested in taking confession with Father December. Pick your month!

A pic of me on my Mum's lap circa 1970/71. My sister in floral glory next to us. She was (and is) quite the Super Mum. Here's to all the others. Happy Mothering Sunday ❤️

Lots of great tree action today. Can't select a favourite. Taken on the edge of the Cornbury Estate on the edge of Charlbury in glorious sunshine with huge numbers of deer mooching about. #Treeoftheday

Haven't rated any trees recently because weather has been sh*t. Plus I am consumed by existential dread due to world events. Here instead is a lovely pic of our chickens, taken in December. Normal service resumes when/if the sun reappears.....

My current reading. Shockingly my first Le Carré, though likely not my last given how much I'm enjoying this one. Yes, I saw the TV version first, but the extra texture & detail here is glorious. Other author trending today - consigned to hell. If you know, you know....
