One lady was particularly keen to please - so keen that we had an egg within about 10 minutes!

Farm Friends - New hens at Poltarrow
Those of you on our Facebook page will know that we suffered at the hands of a fox recently and we lost all but two of our laying hens. On Wednesday Dad and I went to St Ewe Free Range Egg farm to collect some replacements. When their prime laying birds are not as productive as they used to be they sell them off to the public. There is still lots of life left in the birds and they will provide Mum (and our guests) with fresh, free range eggs all summer long.

Wild Kids - Nature Detectives
Have you come across the Nature Detectives website from the Woodland Trust?
It is a wonderful resource with lots and lots of seasonal activities. I
have download some of their activities before to give to the children
who stay at Poltarrow. Today Baby Guy and I embarked on the 'Early signs of spring nature hunt' which can be downloaded here.
Guy is an avid fan of having his naps outside - he sleeps SO much better when he is tucked up in his cosytoes in his pushchair, out in the fresh air. So today we wrapped up, I put on my boots and we headed out for a jolly, good walk hoping to spot the 'signs'. We were able to tick a number off......
Hazel Catkins - there is a lot of Hazel in the lanes around Poltarrow.
Snowdrops - this one was easy as there are many clumps around the farm.
Another sign we could tick off was birdsong but obviously we couldn't get a photo of that! We failed to tick off 'elder bud burst' and 'birds building nests' however we did add a couple of our own spots...
... sunshine yellow daffodils ...
... equally sunny Narcissus ...
and lambs in the fields.
Guy was asleep for most of our walk but I had a good time looking out for the signs and practicing my photography.

Bluebell Shoots - this one required a beady eye but eventually we came across some.
Primrose - there were plenty of these precious little flowers in the hedgerows making this an easy spot.
