Flowers...

You know when you go out to buy one thing and come back with something else...?

Well, flowers for the garden and my Mum's birthday present were on the agenda for today's little jaunt.


Some delightful flowers...that I did not buy.



This was most definitely not.

A six week old Plymouth Barred Rock that I did buy.

In my defence, I did manage to drive past the 'Poultry For Sale' sign once.  The second time wasn't quite so successful.



I remembered to buy my Mum her present though :)

    1. Isn't she! I am so excited! Its been ages since we've had anything slightly chick-like, her peeping is soooooo cute!
      I can't wait to watch her grow from a gangly chick into a buxom hen :D

      Her name? I've nearly decided, honest! :D x

    1. Rosemary, I very much like your thinking. The flowers will still be there next time :)

      And thank you, though I think she would've liked to have been the driver! xx

      Barred Rocks are not that common over here, so this BR novice got lucky!
