Looks like it will be lovely today as well - pity I'm chained to my
sewing machine

Re: Spring has Sprung!
Now that the kids are grown ( 9 and 11) my daughter and her other half are turning the playhouse into a chicken coop (thinks that's what you call it). We're waiting for the eggs to hatch. The kids are so excited ....

Re: Spring has Sprung!
A chicken coop is a place where chickens are kept and inside there are often nest boxes for egg laying and perches on which the birds can sleep.
A coop may have an outdoor run. Both the inside and outdoor floors of a chicken coop are often strewn with a loose material such as straw or wood chips to deal with chicken droppings and to allow for easier cleanup. Don't forget ventilation to get rid of any nasty odours!!!

Yes - that's what they're having. The playhouse has windows and an upstairs. Need to add a few perches and nest boxes. It also has a garage, so we are making a door between the garage and the house. And t will have an outdoor run.
We used to keep chickens when I was a kid - so I know how smelly they can be (I'll be keeping well away)

It's been lovely here the last few days, sun's shining, bulbs are growing like mad! We had a frost last night though and frost's forcast for the next couple of nights, so that'll slow things down a bit, but hopefully the sun in the daytime will help things a bit!

Re: Spring has Sprung!
Had a few days off work this week so yesterday after i'd finished in the garden i decided to go for a bike ride.
Went past The Keukenhof and the bulbs are starting to come up.The fields soon will be a mass of different colours.
