Meet Cyril and Gladys, the new birds on the flock!!
Not been on here since May! Time flies by, but thought I'd update my lagging blog with the new birds, Cyril the cockerel, and Gladys his mate! This is how they looked in May (before I knew that I had a cockerel!)...
And this is them now....
I've also been reading lots of blogs trying to catch up on what's going on around the world, and came across http://creativechaosnz.blogspot.co.uk where Kimberley is arranging a "Send Us Christmas" swap! I've added my name, so just gotta wait to see who I am partnered up with!! I have been partnered in a swap with Kimberley before, and she sent me the most lovely gifts which you can see here and it's so nice to receive goodies through the post instead of bills!! Why not pop over to her blog and join in? :)
Beautiful chickens, I love their names. I have named ours too, gives them so much more character. xo
ReplyDeleteIt does give them character, but not sure how long the neighbours will put up with him, let alone me!! He crows at all times of the day!! :)
Deletehe's very handsome! :)
ReplyDeleteIsn't he just!! A bit noisy though!!! :)
DeleteWoah haven't they grown and look so gorgeous. lol yes he does look like Foghorn Leghorn :) x
ReplyDeleteHahaha, glad you know who Foghorn Leghorn is!! Thought it was just me who watched cartoons!! :)
DeleteHehe Cyril definitely looks like foghorn leghorn. Thanks so much for popping by my blog. You asked about the yoga socks. I crocheted them and they are really simple to make. I am hoping to get a chance to do a tutorial at some point.
ReplyDeleteAli xx
Oooh, crochet is even easier than knitting!! Let me know when you put a tutorial on, and I'll give it a go! And glad that you know who Foghorn Leghorn is, it's not just a few of us then!! :)
DeleteHe is a very proud looking cockerel...We kept chickens for a while, but weren't very successful...We had Tikka and Marsala, Fluffy, (she had a very fluffy bum), Flossie, Raoul the cockerel, and then later came Speckled Jim the cockerel. We had a couple of others too, but sadly I've forgotten their names... Speckled Jim was the only one that was successfully raised from an egg. His sisters were killed by a hawk (we guess).
ReplyDeleteNot sure how long Cyril will last as he is crowing at all hours....and at 4.30am on weekends, it is even annoying me!!
DeleteAh Foghorn Leghorn - that's a blast from the past :))
ReplyDeleteGood to see you blogging again - I also had a long period away from my blog. I'm trying to get back into it again.
Hahaha, glad you know Foghorn Leghorn, "I say Boy" as he used to say!! Will pop over to you Ellie, nice to see you getting back to blogging as well...sometimes a break is a good thing to do, isn't it! :)
DeleteI'm a bit oblivious to Foghorn Leghorn, but Cyril looks lovely. Thanks for mentioning my swap too.
ReplyDeleteHi Kimberley, if you google him (he's a cartoon character!!) you'll see who I mean!! Looking forward to the swap, haven't been in one for ages!! :)

Your cockerel looks a fine specimen and I can just imagine how vocal he is. I'm looking forward to sorting out goodies for your Christmas cracker ;);)
Haha, no worries!! Thanks for popping by :)
DeleteI have a chicken named after me(Mrs A. ) by a good blooging friend. Just scooted over and added my name to the swap. Haven't done one in ages and then 2 come along together! Now I just need to eat my way through a litre of ice cream.! Well someone has to do it!! hugs Mrs A.
ReplyDeleteMmmm, enjoy your ice cream!! What 2 swaps are you in Mrs A?
DeleteHi there. Thank you for your comment on my blog. Co-incidentally I was just commenting here when an email came through with your comment on. I'd been meaning to catch up with you regarding the swap that Kimberley has arranged and have been reading your posts to get an idea of your likes and dislikes etc. Perhaps we can have a chat via email and exchange addresses some time. Don't want to put mine here though. I'll look into how. Patricia
ReplyDeleteHi Patricia, have sent you my email on your blog.... not sure how else to contact each other!! :)
DeleteHi Debi. Your comment came through for moderation but I chose not to publish it as you may not want everyone to see your email address. I have it now and have emailed you. We'll get there in the end I'm sure !! :)
DeleteThanks Patricia, will go and check my emails :)
