Having a blog can sometimes be like having a diary and forgetting to turn the pages.
When you do switch on/ turn pages you realise that 2 weeks maybe a month have gone by and nothing written in the pages! Well that is my poor apology out of the way.
Flaming June has arrived along with that my daughters birthdays 17 and 20 - where has the time gone? They have decided to go on holiday together for their birthday present. They fancy Turkey or Zante, i have already said i don't want to travel further than Exeter for the airport. That is a bit restricting, 7 days or 2 weeks, what happens if they bicker will two weeks be too much but will a week be enough to develope the kind of sun tan they are hoping to achieve. Decisions decisions - meanwhile back at the ranch,
We have had 3 of our Rhode Island Reds eggs hatched by a friend, not a lot i know but we are really pleased, then we noticed something not right with the rear of two - won't go into detail but it appears that the heater lamp may have been too close to the birds or it may be that they are establishing the pecking order of the 3 which by coincidence shows the 2 smaller birds with the rear problem! So we have split them all up they can still see each other - not sure it makes a difference.
The whole hatching process started because we have been selling the eggs at the gate again and can't keep up with the demand we have been more vigilant this time so nothing stolen so far.
The builders are cracking on at a stonking pace, looking at kitchens for the cottages tomorrow, easy to clean minimallist is what we want to acheive.
Made a huge mistake last week, got chatting to a lady in agricultural store over the notice board - as one does! Said i was looking for a companion pony for the dartmoor she said she had just the thing, went with my boys next day to view, it was bigger than i thought gut feeling said no but heart said yes. Pony arrives Monday got on with dartmoor great 8.00am next morning knock at door had we a little black pony, yes, pony escaped and trotted mile and half up lane tethered at neighbouring farm oops. Woke eldest daughter walked horse home, horse going mental she had escaped under two lines of thick electric fence, put pony in stable tried to climb out. Rang lady who sold horse she said nothing she could do. I blubbered to hubby, hubby said ring her again and she did come and collect. Maybe the fact i paid by cheque may have helped! Moral of story don't talk to strangers and always go with gut feeling. Mentioned to hubby i am sick of chasing round looking for him can i have a quad bike.....................................................................

You've had a busy time down at the ranch!
I'm glad you managed to get the lady to take the pony back. It so awful when you know you've made the wrong decision about something. It must be even harder when animals are involved.
Hope you get that quad bike but don't go doing an Ozzy Osbourne:-)
ps - I love that your girls want to go on holiday together! Hope they manage to find a good deal (that flies from Exeter:-)
Hi Lane,
we are very mindful of the bad use of quad bikes certainly as two of our children are boys of 14 and 8. The elder one is desperate for quad and makes do with sit on mower. Having been to cornwall show last friday i now fancy a gator utility vehicle. However hubby suggests that because i have developed a nice cornsih tan i could get a dissability cart because then i would be like the woman off the Benidorm programme which up until recently was on Friday nights TV. I will post a piccie soon i really am not as old as her nor do i smoke! Men.
