Heavy Petting

The boyfriend fancied a look in Currys the other day so whilst he did that I had a look round Jollyes Petfood Superstore – it was awesome!! Look, they had chickens!! I really wanted one (four)

So then I had a little wander round, found a sleepy rat

Budgies!

Some sort of gerbil type thing really enjoying it’s wheel

Quite a lot of fishies

A few bunnies

The best was the chickens though. I did eventually make it to the cat aisle and found this for my little fur baby, best £2.50 I ever spent. My cat gets bored of toys so quickly but he loves them. They’re called Incredibubbles and they’re peach flavour (who ever knew cats liked peach?) and they take a while to pop but they’re not toxic so kitty was in his element chasing and attacking them like a mad thing. Jolly good I say.

Blue Food

I have always thought there is a distinct lack of blue food in the world, but check these babies out…

Blue!!!

How exciting!

A Little Bit Orkney

Do you ever think it might be nice to live on the Isle of Wight or Jersey or something? Maybe not forever but for a little while as a novelty. Only you need to bring some sort of skill to the island and get a work permit and you’re not considered a resident until after X years and the property prices are through the roof? Ugh, who needs it?

As many of you may know I’m obsessed with having a log cabin and my new ideal location for my log cabin is the Orkey Isles – all the charm of the Channel Islands but no work permits or restrictions and stuff like that (good thing too as I’m skill-less haha!). What a lovely place to retire to maybe and keep chickens, get a little boat and frolic.

Cheap rents, still part of the UK so all the same benefits and health care etc. You can still shop off the internet, the sea means its not too cold, catch the northern lights, not too many neighbours. Oh glorious chickens… one day you will be mine.

Weekend Whereabouts

A group of friends and I stayed away this weekend in a holiday cottage that I won as a prize…

These were our neighbours…

And this was our little chicken friend Romeo, so named because he loved us… until we realised it was a girl so we called her Juliet

So this is the inside of the house…

A bit of light reading…

Check up the chimney for monsters

Fill the fridge

And all the nicer when it’s a free prize!
