The Real Slim Shady

Last month Oasis, this month Eminem. Will the real Slim Shady please stand up?

Charlie's 1st Birthday

Today was Charlie's 1st Birthday! That first day in an incubator in Intensive Care seems like an age ago. We had a little tea party for Charlie, Oliver & Harvey.

Oliver posing like he's in Oasis.

Charlie's presents included a tricycle from Oliver (compare the picture below to the ones in this post)....

..and some chickens (see previous post) although to save trouble we've had to tell Oliver that one of them is his.

Our Chickens

Our new chickens arrived today along with their new house (called an Eglu) from a company called Omlet.

The chickens are Gingernut Ranger and Miss Pepperpot breeds. We haven't yet decided on their names.

They are too young to lay eggs at the moment but we can expect our first eggs within the next month.

January 2008

Another quiet month for us...

December 2007

A quiet month by our standards and a very subdued Christmas following Nana Linda's spell in hospital.

Our new Christmas pyjamas.

Santa Steam Special

Charlie met father Christmas again today when we went on the Santa Steam Special at the Severn Valley Railway.
