quail – In the country not in the country

Tiny library

I’m going to start today’s post with a pic taken just a few minutes ago of my baby bunnies 🐰 ❤️ Now onto other news….Last week work finally started on fitting a kitchen and restoring the house after the flood seven months ago. However, nothing in this old house ever goes smoothly and a lotContinue reading “Tiny library”

Tiny ain’t so tiny

A little catch up of what’s been happening…which isn’t actually a lot. Tiny my little quail chick is 13 days old today and is growing into a big strong boy. I’ll be sad when eventually he flies the nest and joins my other pet quails in the garden. But Tiny needs company and it wouldn’tContinue reading “Tiny ain’t so tiny”

Champagne or Wine

Luckily a more upbeat post today. Firstly my hen big bird is looking a lot better and is starting to eat properly. Secondly little Tiny my quail chick is doing well and having a growth spurt. He’s a right character, if I leave the room all I hear is cheep! Cheep! He also demands IContinue reading “Champagne or Wine”

Fly high little Phoenix

However, around ten days ago I suddenly noticed one of my quails sitting onContinue reading “Life and death in one room”

Hello, Hello, hello, what do we have here then?

After doing a bit of gardening near Vinnie and Rambo’s shelter we uncovered a stone trap door type slab near the wall of the shelter. Could be an old well we thought or to be honest with this house it could be anything. Maybe a treasure pit like on Oak island….I can only hope. OrContinue reading “Hello, Hello, hello, what do we have here then?”

The penguin always faces South

I didn’t get much sleep last night. I was awoken by the sound of a lot of banging noises during the middle of the night. I never found out what it was as the noise just disappeared. It sounded like it was coming from downstairs, but it is completely empty down there now. Everything hasContinue reading “The penguin always faces South”
