Pictorial update of this last week

The ducks having their first paddle!!! They grow so fast that I'm sure they have already grown since taking the pictures a few days ago.

Mummy Pekin/silkie with the 2 baby quail.

And a close up of one of the babies. So cute when they are starting to get feathers. Going to look just like its dad I think!One of the tadpoles that has made it to a froglet! Will went off to fetch his book that he made to show me!

Tom's old drum stove that he has made for scouts. He welded some legs on and cut two doors that you open to light the fire inside the drum. The idea is that you cook on the top of it, and there will be a little flue pipe as the outlet for the smoke eventually. The things that look like corks are the insulated handles to open and close the doors. So clever!
Rob has made a pirate ship in the garden with a mast and sail, a flag pole and ships wheel. It is made out of an old crate and raised up on legs with a ladder and the boys love it! Unfortunately all the photos show just what a mess our garden is so I'm not sure I can post a picture...plus they don't really do it justice! Well, maybe this one isn't too bad....



That's all for now folks...the boys are off to the woods to build dens, and I need to get up and persuade Will that we are too poorly to go with them. Sore throats and runny noses should stay at home today I think, as the weather is pretty rotten. Rainy.
