Hello again! Here's some pics from April:
  | 
| Rainy walk in the early rape fields | 
  | 
The new arrivals settling in! 
We started with 8 hens - 6 two month olds and 2 
ready to lay-ers. Sadly now have only 6. 
(The high up coop evidently didn't keep out 
ALL the baddies!)  
 | 
  | 
We used fleece this year on the early veg and it worked 
a treat - although it doesn't look too pretty | 
  | 
| Free wood chips on the path ways | 
  | 
| Arches for climbing veggies | 
  | 
| Lots of dandelions for the bees! | 
  | 
Now the water pipe was buried we could continue 
work on the patio in front of the barn. | 
  | 
The main reason for building this was to get  
rid of stone and rubble from around the garden! 
 | 
  | 
Building the wall / 
Starting to fill with stone 
 | 
  | 
Using pretty old bricks  
for decorative edging  
 | 
  | 
| Stones, stones everywhere | 
  | 
| And it's full! | 
  | 
| Another rape walk in the sunshine | 
  | 
Starting a few other jobs around … 
stone step onto the patio 
digging out the fallen retaining wall 
 | 
  | 
| My mum and dad came to stay! | 
  | 
Obviously we roped them into helping! 
Almost 6 hours of solid work later we have a patio! 
 | 
  | 
| To celebrate, we went to Veliko Tarnovo for a day/night | 
  | 
| Panoramic lift in the hotel! | 
  | 
| Arbanasi the next morning | 
  | 
| Back home, chilling on the new patio! | 
  | 
| We went for a 10 mile walk around the local villages | 
Thanks!! Bye bye! :-)
