Where's the Ark mum?


Well my girls need an Ark today, or perhaps wellies? Just as we'd hoped the sunshine would return in May it appears to have departed on a long vacation.

Our latest rescue ladies are all happy in their Eglu in the polytunnel, snug and dry. The other 13 ladies are not so lucky as they are outside but seem perfectly happy pecking around in the rain or shelter under Pondside Lodge when it becomes too soggy.

Buttons the bunny looks very fed up in her hutch as plans for her deluxe outdoor run are put on hold due to the deluge. We've built it but the ground is so sodden Buttons would need a life jacket before going in!

The kitties are wisely sheltering indoors, mostly snoozing in the laundry basket. Sounds like a good plan to me.

The dogs have returned soggy but happy from a walk with their dad. Heidi the retriever loves water and doesn't mind the rain, but Saffron our Jack Russell is not keen, even wearing her smart red waterproof coat.

Must do a sun dance, please bring back the warmth and blue sky.
