Let it snow,Let it snow,Let it stop..please!

Our poor chickens didn't know what was going on in their world,they didn't even step outside for a snowball fight!

It is really beautiful to look out at, but after being housebound for the last 2 days im ready for the snow to melt...I have a hell of alot to do before Santa comes!!

First Snowman in Erronagh, Knockvicar!

Tim,Delma and Sadiemay did a fine job with creating this lifelike private eye snowman!not bad for their first go,plus Tim is far from a seasoned snowman maker,hes much more into sandcastles!

Sadiemay also would have made a very good snowgirl!

Nara and Sadiemay had a quiet afternoon recently to check out the latest fashions...guess who's trying to be the boss!!We are in the middle of what i believe to be the best summer in a long time, Sadiemay just loves sitting out having lunch with the girls...and teddies!

Since our last post Lillian has taken her first solids, she now also has 5 teeth, what a trooper, we have not lost one nights sleep through it all!
We have even had time to go out on a night out!My cousin Shelly and her fiancee Benny all in top form!!

And then it appeared!

The first egg has been laid! The Jessops had a very exciting day today with the discovery of the first egg from our chicks, we don't know which was the proud egg maker, but good on ya!I have a feeling that we will have many visits for 'egg checks' over the next few days.

Safe travels!

Triona, Jonathan, Diarmuid and Nara are all due home on Tuesday. We can't wait to see you all again guys! Wishing you a safe and comfortable 24 hour trip home!

Well done Mammy,Denise Granny!

After spending the last number of weeks typing up a zillion words for her essay, mam handed it in yesterday....well done!

A walk in the park

Delma and the Jessop girls all went for a walk in the Forest park last Monday the sun was shinning and the flowers were out....bring on summer!

The chickens have arrived!!

After weeks of preparation and excitement, our chickens have arrived! All is going great so far, no eggs yet, but they aren’t due to lay for a week, we told Sadiemay that they would lay an egg for the O'Dowd-Hills!
Unfortunately word got around the parish that 6 new chicks were in town and on Monday evening Mr. Mink arrived sniffing about our back door! I screamed at him...YOUR NOT WELCOME HERE, but he didn’t have any English, I think he understood my body language! We haven’t since him since!
Sadiemay now makes a daily morning trek to visit her chicks....

Our Chicken Coop is complete and ready!

After 2 weeks of hard work and sweat from Tim, we collect our 6 chickens tonight!
Hopefully they will be laying next week. Now that we have the chuck house and the play house Tims new project will be 'his' dog house!

Well done Lil!

Lillian showed us her first tooth yesterday,she created no big drama or upset,just her usual big smile!Very proud parents, Sadiemay is proudest of all!
