Later at dusk, I met my neighbour, Shaun looking for a Cream Legbar (probably the one in the centre of the picture above). He said that his chickens had started to enjoy flying over the fence, but that he was going to put a stop to it, and that shortly he would be going out to start erecting and that soon I would be able to see his erection in the garden. I thanked him for the warning and came back into the house.
Switching now to something totally pure, I have made a soap for people with sensitive skin. It has no colour or fragrance and no beeswax ( a very small number of people can be allergic to beeswax), instead it has borage seed oil and apricot kernel oil, both of which are good for sensitive skins.
It is the most beautiful pure white colour, the photo below doesn't do it justice.
Lastly, if you are thinking that I haven't been posting as much recently it is probably because the second daughter, Ellie has come home for the Easter holidays. This takes up my time in many ways, only this morning, I was obliged to spend some time explaining how, although last night's BBC version of The Lady Vanishes was more true to the original book, the 1938 Alfred Hitchcock film was in fact much, much better. This somehow led to us watching at least half an hour of it on Youtube. Normally, I am appalled when film makers alter books and add new characters and events that didn't happen in the original, but in this case it made a much better, more thrilling story. Maybe Hitchcock knew his stuff after all.
One of Mary's French neighbours found that some of his hens had gone astray and, trying to speak English to her asked if he might "Come and chase my cock round your garden".
ReplyDeleteIt just leaves itself open to double entendres, I have previously admired Shaun's cock which is magnificent, only to be told modestly that his is nothing compared to Kevin's which is the biggest in the street.
