Sunshiney Day

Morning, kids...hope it's as sunnylicious where you are as it is here.
The broody duck is diligently sitting on her eggs in the floating duck house in the middle of the pond. A couple of times a day she sprints off the nest, runs up the grass quacking madly, scoffs a load of food, and then dashes back to the nest. Good on her! That's dedication for you. We'll get pics up here as soon as the little 'uns hatch, so keep your eyes peeled (mind you, we're not counting them yet...)

We've just managed to find a company who can print 100% biodegradable carrier bags for us! This is something we've been attempting to do for several years now, and it's only recently that it's become mainstream enough to be possible, so we're very excited, and hope that we can set a good example to other shops!

By the way there's only 10 days left to enter our competition...Name That Chicken!! There are four brilliant prizes of £25 vouchers for our online shop to be spent on whatever fairy goodies your heart desires! Check out the competitions page for details and to enter.

Thanks to Sarah Fairy for lending us 'He's Just Not That Into You!'. Shelley's finished it already, and I've started reading it now...it's a book that's well worth dipping into, even if you don't read it cover to cover. So get down the library/bookshop/internet and get a copy...I thought it would be a bit sexist and stupid, but it actually makes quite a lot of sense and leaves you feeling positive and in control!! Power to the girls! Got to be taken with a small pinch of salt, of course...but if anyone who's reading this has read it, get in touch and let us know what you think!
