Wow that must be tough being away from him but sounds like it is probably best for him. Hopefully he'll enjoy uni there next year! My nearly 13 year old was asking me if he could go and live with my mum in Oz to go to school - errrr no!My son is also 18. We started him here in Ireland in the fall but their senior cycle is a two year program and having come from a huge and very liberal urban high school he found the rural option here very uncomfortable. Decided it was best to just let him go back and live with my sister for the school year and finish the last year with his friends at his old school and do his university here starting in the fall.
Congrats on the new job @PouleChick , hope you will enjoy it!
Thanks both, hoping I'll really enjoy it. On paper it sounds perfect for me and the family!@PouleChick Well done! Congrats. Hope it is everything you hope & need.
Due to be 24c but feeling like 28c today according to the weather site - just crazy - we'll be freezing tomorrow with it only due to be 15 and cloudy!
My hubby nearly got heat stroke! He didn't drink enough and was out digging up knot weed for hours. I was hot just sitting doing some seed trays!It's so warm here as well, I was cleaning our yard yesterday almost whole day and I was wearing short sleeves!

Beautiful place you've got there!Having an early spring here In Ireland.
Mowed the lawn and threw some wood chips over the flower beds.

Looking forward to having some ducklings around again.
I didn't know that. Just let them out before the border and lure them over, that way you didn't transport them over.I can add the Dutch rules for Ducks (and what species), and the rules for traveling with ducks to and through Europe. But not chickens though.
How exciting! Have you made any progress?Forecast for dry weather here so hubby and I spent today sketching out building plans for my first ever coop and plan to break ground tomorrow !!! Have 10 reclaimed wood doors that once measured and laid out means I am getting a 2.5M by 1.6M building. But first need to clear and level the spot in the garden and move gravel in before we build the foundation which is why we are thrilled for a few dry days this weekend.
We have had lovely weather as well, which is too early, but I was grateful for being able to get a head start on the garden.Well hello everyone! sorry didn't get notifications and have been out of action with a bad cold the last week. Finally got my small back to school today so very happy - and my head has stopped hurting!
Frustrating isn't it! We started wanting to put lintels in just as the temps dropped below what concrete likes to set! Would love to see the progress of your place!
Is it just down here or has it stopped raining elsewhere? So excited have had a couple of days of sunshine now even managed a little gardening (well clearing / weeding etc). yesterday managed 2 loads of washing totally dry on the line - without even the need for 5 minutes in the dryer - spring is a comin'! Oh and I spotted some of those little purple bulbs have come up (crocuses??)
Another law that has a reason for being there (animal by - products and waste being used as feed), but turns into something ridiculous...I knew feeding chickens kitchen scraps was illegal in the UK but apparently it's EU as well.https://www.gov.uk/guidance/supplying-and-using-animal-by-products-as-farm-animal-feed
Oh wow your place is amazing - and your garden so tidy!Having an early spring here In Ireland.

Thank you Ana!@PouleChick I am sorry to hear of your husband's diagnosis, yet hope you can now treat the symptoms better.
Also, a belated Happy Birthday! What a birthday meal. That looked soooo good.
And, last, but not least: Congrats on the job! It sounds perfect.
