Yesterday on our way back from the farm we called in at Hombase for a few bits we needed and I saw that they had turfs in for \u00a34.00 each. We had no room in the van as it was full of disposables so I intended to go back today and get one each for Jackie and myself. I rang Jackie to let her know.<\/p>\n

This morning Jackie rang me and said to hold fire on the turfs as someone at the allotment had dug more grass out. We arranged to go to the allotment this afternoon and collect it.<\/p>\n

A friend of Jackie’s also gave us another sprout stalk each. I came home with a plastic box and a bag full of grass and gave one square of grass to the girls straight away. I am saving the sprout stalk for tomorrow.<\/p>\n

The girls immediately set about the grass except for Barley who was in the nest box laying her egg.<\/p>\n
