The weather man says....

Heavy snow & blizzard warnings out for orkney/shetland over the weekend..

We say....


Woohooo Bring it on !! We didnt take sledges with us when we moved for them to spend year after year in the shed getting dusty. We need snow !

Kids got home, some last min adjustments to flight times & they were home on the first plane in this morning, much to everyones relief as the weather has now closed in again. Daughter is full of the cold so retreated to warm cosy undertheduvet land with the company of lemsip & strepsils & the tv remote. Son, has yet again taken a stretch, the christmas sweaters are now starting to look a tad short on the arms.

Anyhoo..

Today was a big day !

The ducks must have caught light of my calling them exhibition strain & caught the whisper of "into the freeze with them" for this morning.. we got... The first big white duck egg !

From the San Francisco Chronicle February 1. "Mayor Newsom has signed a resolution passed unamimously by the Board of Supervisors opposing cramming egg laying hens into tiny cages." SF is the fourth Calif. city to do so. The others are Santa Cruz, Berkeley and West Hollywood. Cheers.

TF Thats brilliant news ! there should be an all over worldwide ban on battery egg production.

Yes! As long as it is closely followed by similar for meat birds. Also, people buying processed chook, as opposed to uncooked, find it harder to connect with welfare issues and ALL labelling needs to be much clearer so we have a genuine choice to make. After HF-W's programmes I thought the Co-op promised to alter their deceptive 'Elmwood' labels, but I still see blue skies and green grass (implying outdoors) and reading the label reveals no adherence to any recognised animal welfare standards at all!
