| “You can wear terrible shirts and grow more fat And eat three pounds of sausages at a go” This is retirement life of a working dog, with old boy Jack showing us the way 😊 He just cleaned the whole 1.2kg of the lamb and veggies can, his favourite 😊 amazing appetite! #retirement #bliss #fat #eggs #farmlife --from the poem “Warning” by Jenny Joseph (starts with the wonderful first line of: “When I am an old woman I shall wear purple”) | |

“And all that’s best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes;” The beauty of our youngest chicken, up close and personal. When she arrived at the farm, she was so timid and shy, she was the youngest of all. And now, possessing that perfect harmonious mixture of light (sparkling eyes) and dark (dark feathers and a real character). All that's best. #eye #eyes #beauty #hen #chicken #eggs #pasturedeggs #poetry #beautiful --from the poem “She Walks in Beauty” by Lord Byron Photography by Haydn “All things counter, original, spare, strange;
Whatever is fickle, freckled (who knows how?)” The thistle rose: our original, strange and spare touch of unusual beauty this summer; a feast for our eyes while doing the daily egg collection! #beauty #unusual #summer #thistle #poetry #eggs #pastured #farmlife #thorns and #roses --from the poem “Pied Beauty” by Gerard Manley Hopkins “Will you take a walk with me,
My little wife, today? There’s barley in the barley-field, And hay-seed in the hay.” “Thank you,” said the Clocking-hen; “I’ve something else to do: I’m busy sitting on my eggs, I cannot walk with you.” Just don’t try to get the egg from under this hen today! 😃 #eggs #broody #hen #chickens #pasturedeggs #clucky #cute #chicken #fluffy #poetry #farmlife --from “The Clocking-Hen” by 19th century poet Aunt Effie -Photography by Haydn |
