today we had our first eggs from the buff sussex - yippee!!
Won't be long before we have 6 eggs a day - when that happens we might start selling them in our recycled milk bottle baskets.

She looks beautiful... Almost like a swan!
Shirlz, I've got a pile of egg cartons, more than my compost heap can cope with - are you interested?

Shirlz, I agree - she is very beautiful. We have swans on the river at the moment... my second fave after the majestic heron...

Need to fix my exhaust first - it's starting to sound like a stag on heat... Don't dare to go further than the village at the moment!

A pic of the egg basket - works better with bit of old newspaper crumpled under the eggs - I sometimes leave the lid attached as it makes it easier to do the cutting....
Obviously can be used for more than just eggs.....
