Busy Sunday

I appologise again for not being able to post on here much but I should be back daily again very soon.
Yesterday I hosed the eglu and rablu ready for todays visit of Daniella and Kevin. They are a young couple from Solihull who are interested in purchasing an eglu after seeing it on the Paul O'Grady Show. Which is quite cool. They arrived at about 11:40 and stayed for a further 45 minues looking at the eglu size, set up and of course the beautiful chickens and rabbits. They are thinking of buying a green one in January. I was unbelievably nervosus just before they arrived, I was scared I would completely put them off keeping chickens for life. Fortubately I answered all their questions and they already had a bit of knowledge about chicken welfare. They were also very passionate about where their food comes from, so overall it was very enjoyable and we had a lot in common. I need to contact Omlet now to tell them all about it and hopefully get a reward like others have before me!

Yesterday I met up with Clare, Rosie, Sally, Emma, Maurice, Lesley, Carl, Lauren and Jake at the Organic Cafe before going around the farmers market. I bought some bacon to have for my breakfast and some mushrooms from the mushroom man. I also gave Clare the money for the bag she got for me. It's lovely, made of cotton with the Omlet chicken and logo on. Emma also gave me a (colour can not be named) glug and grub and some pumpkin seeds, and an unexpected Christmas Present, which inspired me to start writing some cards and purchasing some gifts.

When I got back from the Farmers Market I went straight out to Solihull with my Mum and brother to buy some Christmas things. I bought some Organic Chocholates from Thorntons for a few friends and also a few birthday presents for those who have Birthday near Christmas. These are all now wrapped.

I just thought I'd let you know that I made my own lasagne for lunch today. I improvised hugely using organic egg lasagne, red pepper chutney, mild cheese and mushrooms. No meat unfourtunately. I was very pleased with the outcome, it was delicious!

Only just over 5 days until Jimmy's farm.

Oh yes and advent has started aswell. Very hectic weekend.

Thanks for reading and God Bless,
Martin
