Back to reality with a bump!

It seems so long since I've blogged & I really shouldn't be doing so now! I have soooo much to catch up on now that I'm back home.....mucking out after a man on his own for 3 weeks is not good news not to mention the backlog of minis that I'm supposed to be making a start on.  I think I've got a bad case of post holiday /mini makers "block"...I just can't seem to get back into the swing of things!

It's been a real shock to leave temperatures of 49 degrees to arrive back to grey skies, gales & temperatures of 18 degrees at the most & absolutely no rain at all...the ground is so dry that I'm not sure that my garden is going to survive this year!

I've been busy incubating chicks to add to my hen flock as so many of them are heading the way of the foxes at the minute & having just hatched some cream legbar chicks, I can't wait until they start laying (weeks away yet!) as they lay eggs that vary from olive green to pale blue. So, I decided that if I can't have the "real" thing, the next best was to have them in miniature...hence the "eggy" pieces!
