RAIN!


A welcome change in the weather today: welcome only in the sense that the temperature this morning was 7deg C and not zero! Heavy rain showers too the first in nearly a month. This part of the UK, Essex, sees less annual rainfall than Dubai, apparently.

I have an allotment nearby where I keep six chickens. Between xmas eve and boxing day morning two of my 'girls' were stolen, as was three from a neighbours' allotment the previous week. We are lucky because we have no vandalism or theft problems especially as the allotments are open access with no fences or gates. Let's hope this is a one off incident.
