Minor disaster..... the car that is used for school trips has a serious problem.  Occasionally the transmission just fails to do anything. It's ok for me but not ok for inexperienced drivers...... so our plan is to buy a new car for Naomi and use the Honda for school runs.   The advice on the Terracan is that it is too expensive to repair and I should just keep using it till it finally dies.  It's a shame as I really like the terracan.

In between the dry spots.... when it's too wet to work.... I've been sitting in the coop with chickens.  Getting the the hens accustomed to me.

It's wild weather today.... and the magpies are sheltering round the house

Naomi received a very pleasant surprise today.....  her staff had bought her some new chickens!  They're isa brown breed which are reputed to be very friendly.  These ones have no defects so they will be able to roost on rails in the usual chicken fashion.
