Busy, busy ....

Another busy week here in the French Larcombe house!! Josh and Kirsty have now been on their end of year school trips. They both went to visit local farms. Josh decided that the one he went to could not possibly be a farm though as it only had four different types of animals!! Kirsty thought she travelled a long way to her farm visit, it was actually a couple of kilometres. They both enjoyed themselves though and were quite satisfied with the picnics that the schools provided!! They are now preparing themselves for their end of term show. Somehow I have got to find brown trousers and tops for them and Josh needs braces and a beret. Not sure where I will find a beret in France, any ideas!!! He He!!!

As some of you know Magellan has been poorly this week. I am pleased to say that keeping him in the stable during the day and only letting him out at night seems to have done the trick. Within the last two days he now seems to be walking much better and seems a lot happier. Hopefully the farrier will come and see him soon and give me a verdict.

I would like to say that the chickens are all well but unfortunately we have had two fatalities this week. The funny thing is, they only seem to die when Andrew is not here. I am not sure if it is suicide at the loss of their best friend or fright because Peter loves them so much!!

Sasha also tried to help with the birds this week. There was much squawking during breakfast. I thought that the guinea fowl was no more but after fetching the gloves, (could not pick it up without if it was dead!!), it shook its head, made lots of noise and ran off into the pen. I don't think it will fly out again for fear of being caught again by the savage attack hound.

The puppies are still doing really well. I am still trying to put an advertisement on the French website but I am obviously doing something wrong. It keeps sending me the advert back and telling me that there are lots of laws surrounding the sale of puppies. I give up!! Maybe I will just put some notices in the local supermarkets like everyone else.

The part for the fridge has finally arrived, again, so hopefully that will be all sorted next Tuesday. Fingers crossed. Its only taken 3 weeks to have the part sent again, after they sent the wrong part last time.

The belt for the mower and the shower tray are still elusive. I am sure that they will arrive one day!! The logs are still not here. I am however, getting a dab hand at making kindling wood, Josh appears to be bored with the job.

Anyway love to all. xx
