Poor old Charlie, he must of known he was going - he'd been getting further and further removed from his family, maybe natures way of getting them used to his departure. Then of he popped. The Cygnets have gone down to two and one chicken bottom of the pecking order is getting well and truly pecked. We bought 3 Easter Eggers or Rainbow layers, the little chickens with pheasant colouring that lay green eggs - its dictator week in their crib, establishing the higherackie (I cant spell that and my spellings so bad even the spell checkers wont recognize it but I'm sure you know what I mean)

Now as all my cookery classes are finished for a while - I can concentrate on this years American Themed PoP uP Restaurant - The diners been cleaned up and set up ready for the onslaught of American Desserts, Brownies, key Lime and Baked Lemon Cheesecake with an Oreo Base not to mention Ice-Cream Sundaes with Hot Fudge Sauce - - the thought brings shivers down my spine, yum yum yum piggies bum. I'm laminating all the menus and signage - (Ah, laminating the best invention after sliced bread) plus turning the dining room in to a store cupboard - macaroni's taking over the chairs, canalini beans taking up the mantelpiece and numbered cutlery tins taking up the table. Peach B.B.Q sauce and Chilli Ketchup made & jarred up in the fridge. - - I love it! Can't Wait!

Still tickets available for anyone staying at the barns - plus one table left for Friday 4th July - - other than that its full and raring to go. Charlie would of loved the left overs.
