Do come along to buy some fresh eggs and a stroll down the lane :o)

I forgot to get the eggs yesterday, so armed with my trusty camera I though you may like to join me.

Out through my nice new tall gate onto the pathway and into the lane and down to the dairy farm on the left


in through the gate and there you will find a table 


with a box and a tin


Inside the box there is half a dozen free range eggs


if you need more, just ask at the farm :o)
There's two lovely blue hens eggs today - I think they're from Araucana hens(?) I've seen them call Easter Eggers too.
If you peek over the fence there are some free rangers there.


and of course there's the handsome rooster with his girls - 
I often hear his crowing :o)


I'm pleased to say there were also some rescued ex-battery hens just behind.

I walk on a little further to visit some of the dairy herd




Billy bull is in with these girls too - he was certainly bellowing at me!


I was glad the metal fence was between us ;o)
On the other side of the lane were some more sweet girls, 


and it looked to me like they needed milking.


As I turned I saw the 'finger post' at the junction had seen better days..

It certainly needs straightening and a coat of paint!

I strolled back home and decided to check the hog boxes to see how many had booked in last night, just one tucked up asleep - here's a peep,


snuggled up tightly fast asleep :o)

Hope you enjoyed walking with me.

Enjoy the weekend :o)

P.S.
Thank you dear Mary for the inspiration :o)

Just a touch of Easter

Thank you for all you sweet comments, you really are a lovely bunch!

I'm supposed to be in the garden today - motivation is severely lacking I'm afraid, so I thought I'd find a little distraction..

Just a little Easter vingnette in the conservatory.
The tulips were my Aunts, very old and delicate as they're made from glass.

I know they were very special to her, and I love them too :o)

Do you like them?  I've never seen any others, but I'd love to add to them. 
 Mom told me they were in their childhood home. 

The bunnies have been collected over the last couple of years - many of them shown on my blog as I found them.

I've loved egg shapes for years, here's just a little of my collection displayed in a basket.

I've also added my silk blossoms hanging with Easter decorations to the hearth,
though after looking at it I'm going to move the Staffordshire dogs - it's just too cluttered!

Hope everyone has a great weekend....I'm finally off into the garden - I should have planted the potatoes a couple of weeks ago (but my back put paid to that).

Best wishes
