Don't say...the chooks have stopped laying.
So just to wrap up my Maleny holiday references...
1. A highlight for me was finding a really old box of 100 year old photos and music sheets covered in a really thick layer of dust. There's an old storeroom under the house that we haven't previously been allowed in and this time it was unlocked. I mentioned it to the owners who said they belonged to her husband's family and he wasn't much into that stuff. I placed them neatly back in the box and I reckon someone from his family will want them one day.
2. Also, in the wood pile I found an old frame (pictured) which I have salvaged and am not sure I'll do with it....when I work it out, I'll show you.
3. Anotherj checked, watered and fed the animals for us for the week and we came home to 13 eggs. Remember that these were the chooks I was ready to eat. They had Guinea Fowl at the farm and maybe we'll get them next time ?
Here endth the Maleny Holiday Rehash. We are already back into the throws of normal life we plenty going on starting with an unexpected 7am phone call from The Big B requesting my immediate assistance with something at his new new place.

If there is a secret, I can only presume that it involves complete and utter neglect, combined with a few vege scraps, and finally, a couple of dismissive sneers of disdain thrown in...

13 eggs! That's just the best news. A baker's dozen. The chickens obviously missed you. Hopefully they will keep up their good work.
