The sight of all those rabbits hanging under the ceiling makes me feel the coziness of a house around Christmas!:)<br />The "lemon" kitties are so sweet - you had really good samples to follow!<br />Your countryside looks so peaceful and beautiful... I like the idea of buying "fresh" eggs, especially the fact that there's trust and honesty in the sell-buy process...:)<br />Hugs to you!rossichkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03185784702539084622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13313028.post-24776974704152151702011-09-29T03:15:09.043+01:002011-09-29T03:15:09.043+01:00Gretel, If you were my neighbor, you could have fr...Gretel, If you were my neighbor, you could have fresh , huge, brown eggs every morning. My gals lay more eggs than we could eat in a year. When we get too many, I scramble them up in an enormous frying pan and give them back to the chickens. They love them... talk about recycling!jerilandershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07418564262425621746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13313028.post-16941427761224229312011-09-28T18:26:33.591+01:002011-09-28T18:26:33.591+01:00Your new prints are lovely!

Beautiful countryside and double yolker eggs......<br /><br />Love the bunting and stripey table cloth in the little shed. A feather or two with your eggs, how wonderful not like the sterilised environment of the supermarket.<br /><br />Love your new prints, you must be having such fun, brushing up on your printing skills.........<br /><br />A weeeeeeet, grey Spring day here.....'just perfick'<br /><br />Claire :}Clairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09742003349610251189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13313028.post-33373809380452346802011-09-28T00:51:00.049+01:002011-09-28T00:51:00.049+01:00Gretel, I know that you do appreciate the opportun...Gretel, I know that you do appreciate the opportunity of taking a bicycle ride up a steep incline and finding fresh eggs at the peek. And beautiful landscape surrounding you going uphill and downhill.<br /><br />Great that those hens throw in some feathers as dividends to their free range laying produce. Not for the first time you've taken me along to a bit of fresh air and a culture very different from hereabouts.<br /><br />Your lino re prints are lovely. Good for you to refresh those printing skills. I wonder what I would manage nowadays if I tried to ink up one of my old etching plates. It would take a lot of trial inking and trial paper before I would ever reclaim the modest ability I once had.<br /><br />xoFranceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08352407314710067616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13313028.post-30765640032834963022011-09-27T20:30:46.492+01:002011-09-27T20:30:46.492+01:00don't you just love our beautiful countryside!...don't you just love our beautiful countryside!?<br />I love your lino prints!!Gerry Snapehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07269492251928362799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13313028.post-90492381911477937432011-09-27T18:18:24.652+01:002011-09-27T18:18:24.652+01:00Double-yolkers make the best cakes!Double-yolkers make the best cakes!Pamela Terry and Edwardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12746603636884819522noreply@blogger.com
