Finally the last of our eggs have hatched and we have 4 gorgeous little Bantam chicks growing fast in the shed! They haven't any names yet but sure Rosie & Megs will soon get their naming hats on... Polly, Judy and Emmie are growing fast - they have half their feathers already and are nearing their parents in size! (I do believe that 'Polly' is in fact a Drake!?) anyone with any 'how to sex a duck' advise please get in touch!!!
July always hosts the infamous Wrockwardine Church Fete and this years was no acception, one of the only gorgeous sunny days of the month to date too!
Rosie had the honour of standing as Fete Queen this year, with Megan and another little village girl Alicia as her assistants... they all did a grand job and were crowned by the Colonel, as this is his last Fete as he and his family will be moving down to Dorset in December this year.
I think all will agree that the girls all looked rather beautiful!
We have started visits from JOGLE cyclists and Shropshire Way walkers.
In fact this week we have fed&bed 4 cyclists some of which came in 2009 on the cycle journey from Lands end TO John O'groats - this year they are travelling downhill! Much more sensible...
We hope to hear from them in a few days to hear that they have made it down to the Cornish tip Lands End... Good luck Guys!
