The day just vanished – I didn’t get to do the Tour de Twyford until after 4:00pm and that wasn’t a good idea as the traffic, despite lockdown level 4, was quite heavy around 4:30pm.

Made a start on the chook house egg boxes.

Main feature of today was a reprise of a week ago, making the shopping list to last us for a week. Karola would like to experiment with online shopping but, apart from the delay from ordering to delivery, and the plea from Countdown to avoid online if you can because they’re over-stretched, there’s the remembering of things whilst walking round the supermarket and the selecting of alternatives for those items out of stock. Out of stock applies to more things than usual because of the unusual times.

Orpington – the teddy bear of poultry

These are the most adorable hens, in both looks and personality. They are a very popular breed of chicken for families with children, as they are so friendly. Big and fluffy, with big, dark eyes, these are truly gorgeous chooks that will steal your heart. They are a dual-purpose bird, laying large, creamy white eggs. They also make excellent mothers and are known for their ability to hatch out huge clutches of chicks.
