I had planned to write about the constant heat of February but our internet was down for over a week. Now we have wonderful rain.
It has been raining on and off for over a week - so fabulous for the new hedge and the lawn. With red dirt on Lamb Island having a good lawn is essential. That red volcanic soil that is so good to grow things colours everything. Even the white tile grout in the shower.
Our chickens are doing well - on some days we get 4 eggs from 5 chickens. One previously grew to be a rooster so we swapped him for a new hen, then all of a sudden the lovely looking red one started to crow.... He has gone. We are waiting now for a replacement.

Every afternoon we let them out for a scratch and adventure for about 45 minutes.

| The red door |
We found this old door under the house. Mark attached it when he built the new pen and Jonnie painted it red.We love it.

| Peach syrup cake |
I have been doing some cooking as the kitchen here is much better suited to fun cooking. This cake was for Brie's birthday.
