Six slightly bigger chicks

They are all doing really well. Full of life and great fun to watch. They are starting to grow wing feathers now at only three days old. I am having to clean them out three times a day now. I am very tempted to put some duck eggs in the incubator but I am the only one here who wants to have ducks. I will not be beaten down on this, they are staying. The ducks have a new pile of eggs in their house so maybe one of the girls will sit now the weather has warmed up.
We took the dogs for a woodland walk this afternoon, it did us all good! Little Frank hates going in the car but enjoys the walk. Bruno loves car rides and will jump in the back as soon as the door is opened without being told.
Tomorrow I hope work will start on the roof. It will improve the look of our house and will make us warmer next winter. We currently have no roofing felt or insulation under the tiles.
Bit weird today, it is a bank holiday here...international labour day. Most places are shut on Sunday's anyway!
Today is the first evening we have not lit the wood burner. Hope this warmer weather is here to stay.

    We are still waiting for warmer weather but yesterday was sunny and pleasant. Today it has rained all day but the garden needs the rain. I cut the grass last week for the first time. Lovely little chicks - hope you get your ducks!

    We are almost on weekly grass cuts now! All the cherry blossom is out and pear is starting. Apple trees have flower buds. Growth all round. We still have some overnight frosts but days are much warmer thank goodness. Yesterday evening was our first without the wood burner.
