When Chug Meets Chicken

Charley and Caldwell having a face to face meeting today ..... and yes Charley's head is through the netting!!

She can get it out, she can also push herself right through if she decides she wants to, as she has before now.

But today it was just a silent 'hello, who are you, I'm Charley the Chug' kind of conversation. Caldwell wasn't totally impressed.

She even waved goodbye to him before she came back to the house to eat her tea :-)

How cute is that. My pup is curious Nelly, and she would be doing the same thing. But I'm sure she would wriggle right thru the netting. Interesting that you chicken has a name.

She is gorgeous, but it won't be long before she is too big to get through the netting! I saw a Charley lookalike the other day, but not in a position to ask what exactly he/she was in terms of breed!

This was my Blog, just me writing about our day to day life learning all about and then living the smallholding life. First we started on a farm in Oxfordshire, then we moved to a smaller place in Berkshire (both in England) and then we found a place of our very own at the bottom of a hillside in North Wales. Along for the ride were all our various animals, and we ended up with just our dogs, Suky and Mavis, our cat Ginger .... who secretly thinks he's one of the canine gang, a sheep called Ethel who wandered in off the road and stayed... and a roving band of egg laying chickens that live cheek by jowl with the local wildlife.

We grow our own fruit and vegetables, selling surplus plants and edibles at the gate. We sell the eggs the chickens lay, we reuse, recycle and rethink ... and life ticks over at a pace that suits us.

It was simply the wild and wacky ramblings of a 50 something townie turned country girl called Sue, who lost her heart to a sailor and started a new life in the country .... many years ago. On a path that took us from Cumbria to Oxfordshire, to Berkshire and then we found our home at the bottom of a wet and windy Welsh hillside by a busy main road.

Pull up a chair, grab a coffee and relax into a world of dogs, cats, chickens, polytunnels and veggies with the occasional grass munching sheep thrown in for good measure.

Sue xx
