It is just as daunting for parents. Here are some ideas for things to do in your garden, no matter … [Read more…]
I seem to have taken hundreds of photos of hens this month. I have a few fancy ones and their hilarious bouffants amuse me every time I see them. Photographing them though seems to be harder than it looks and I was happy with one photo until I went back and I had chopped the … [Read more…]

We are already well acquainted with Schleich because of their large range of realistic farm animals (where else would you find a pygmy … [Read more…]
