14th February 2011



I wonder how my duck-keeping friends both in Germany and England are faring with the egg production?  We've been presented with 19 starting 2.2., from the new girls I suspect - Hedda used to be the first every year, but there've been none in the bottom hut so far.  They were only white eggs to start with, but since the 8th we've had a pale green one as well most days - a bit worrying is that the pale green eggs from yesterday and today had been pecked, seems there's a bit of rivalry going on there.

In honour of the day I cooked waffles [with 4 duck eggs!] this morning which have heart-shaped sections, and we all had some including the workmen ............... what an old romantic I am! 



       

















May I wish a very happy Valentine's day to all who read this.

Oh, before I forget, the build continues to make excellent progress:

  2. Saw on FB about your new iPad, congratulation, but this technomoron wouldn't know what to do with one!
    Charlie, I enjoy looking at your blog and find it a revelation and an education on what's new and appealing to you in fashion.
    Builders are complaining about their increased girths, but they're good lads. Looking forward to seeing you all here when it's all done!

    Love, Mutti/Omi.XX
