A wonderful weekend of saying Goodbye to Summer and Hello, Welcome to Autumn.
A celebration of the Seasons.
Firstly, Saturday afternoon bought some much longed for new additions, years of N not being keen to add to the family,in the form of some feathered friends, ended with a small " For Sale " sign a couple of weekends ago at a local fete.
The sign turned out to have been placed by people we know, selling lock, stock and barrel ... the girls.
4 chickens .. now known as Yoko, Linda, Patty and Barbara, wives and girlfriends of The Beatles, inspired by L, my Beatle mad boy.
I have wanted chickens for as long as I can remember, so this really has been a dream come true.
O welcomed "the girls" by reading them all of his books that have chickens in, they seemed to appreciate it.
Sunday morning, up and out early, to Wragby Gala.
A day of country fare, plenty of farm animals for O, dream cars .. see above, Morris 1000 Traveller ( I'm working on it ! ) and sunshine.
Home for a cup of tea, pick up another picnic and to add some extra layers of clothes.
Then, off to a lovely Country Hotel for a Proms evening in the grounds with Cleethorpes Brass Band.
Fantastic setting and amazing music, loved the James Bond medley.
A rather dark and dramatic end to a fabulous evening and amazing weekend.

Chickens are great, I'm trying to convince my husband that we'll have to get some soon too! I love that your son wants to read them a book about chickens! :) x
Such a wonderful weekend. And lovely new feathered friends! The book reading is adorable :-)

Chooks! How nice.
Chickens are just lovely aren't they? I always feel content watching my fat girls scratch about the place happily.
Ooooh, I NEED chickens! Your girls look lovely :) Fab pictures, thanks for sharing them with us xx
Fabulous weekend - thanks for letting us share. I am so excited about your girls - what fun they will bring. xx
I still get a sense of excitement when I check for eggs. When I saw the photo of the Morris 1000 I thought it was yours packed with goodies you had bought. That would be lovely.
What a fabulous weekend. I'm with you on that Morris, it's so lovely- definitely worth a big smile :)
Chickens are just the best. I hope your lovely ladies are laying lots of eggs for you. xo
