A new chapter

Dig in

My seeds arrived from the BBC dig in campaign yesterday. I was so excited I went out and purchased some tomato, spinach and broad bean seeds as well. I'll get cracking with this little lot next week.

The first egg

I don't think we'll be making cakes, scrambled egg or egg custards just yet but here is the first egg from our girls. Clever ladies...
