Petone Beach

Today we had a great walk with Herman. He had so much fun!

This weekend James and I travelled to New Plymouth for our friends wedding. The weather was amazing and the wedding was delightful. A great weekend all round! I took Friday off so that I wouldn’t feel rushed in getting ready. I’m glad I did as I really didn’t stop all morning! James worked, so weContinueContinue reading “Wedding road trip”

Jeane is in fact Gene!

Today Jeane/Gene (our white chicken) went back to Staglands and we came home with Lettuce (another white chicken). The long-short story is that we bought Jeane a few months ago from Staglands to replace Enid, who we had to put down. We weren’t sure at the time if we had a boy chicken (Rooster) orContinueContinue reading “Jeane is in fact Gene!”

Beki Makes Things: We built a fence

This weekend James and I finished our fence. We’d started with one side a few months ago and have now completed the whole thing. We worked solidly Friday evening after work to prep for the fences posts, managing to cement in a few before it got dark. Saturday was a full on day of fenceContinueContinue reading “Beki Makes Things: We built a fence”

Jeane Smith

Today James and I drove to Staglands, a local wild animal park, and collected a new chicken. We thought that Ziltoid probably needed (wanted) a little friend. Staglands had an advert for baby silkies (Ziltoid is a Silkie). When we got to Staglands we weren’t sure what sort of colour the chickens would be, soContinueContinue reading “Jeane Smith”

RIP Enid

Today we upgraded the chicken coop, but we also had to put poor Enid to sleep. It was heartbreaking. On one hand we were excited about the new coop and the chickens being outside and having a lot more space.But on the other hand, poor Enid was waddling about and falling over and we couldn’tContinueContinue reading “RIP Enid”

Herman the Heartbreaker

After a lot of deliberation James and I decided to get a puppy. We drove to Levin this evening to pick him up :)We brought him home in a pet carrier. He’s so tiny! At the breeders house we sat down and filled in all of the paperwork before leaving with our little Herman. AtContinueContinue reading “Herman the Heartbreaker”

Our New Chicken Coop

When we first got the chickens we bought a proper chicken coop to put them outside in. Until now they’ve been too small to go outside. We built it in the garage and then transferred it to the living room to see how it looked. Before we could get the chickens into it Agatha decidedContinueContinue reading “Our New Chicken Coop”

Chick Update 3

I am still the chicken mother of two androgynous chickens…I haven’t a clue whether they’re hens or roosters. It’s driving me mad! I do however, think that Enid is lame. I mean that in a medical sense…she walks in a completely different way to Ziltoid and falls over a lot…maybe she’s just very clumsy…maybe not…butContinueContinue reading “Chick Update 3”

Beki Makes Things: My newest toy

I am an avid AirPoints collector. This is like nectar points of AirMiles, and here in New Zealand you can actually collect quite a few if you go about it the right way. I don’t usually think too much about collecting them, they’re just there and I collect when I can. However, after last yearsContinueContinue reading “Beki Makes Things: My newest toy”
