My parents have three chickens in their back garden. The children love feeding them.
Annie-Joy is especially taken with 'the girls'. I love the look on her face her as she gazes adoringly at her brother.
Timmy is a natural with the hens. He is laughing really hard here because the pecking tickles his hands! The other three children are a little more wary of hand feeding though & the grain usually gets hastily thrown on the ground at the last moment as the chicken is about to peck & the child loses their nerve.
My parents live on the edge of the town now & when we visit we usually go for a little walk up the hill into the countryside. There were signs of spring everywhere along the hedgerows. AJ was fascinated by the catkins....
....and so was Timmy.
Here are a few of the Tribe deep in conversation & looking very relaxed leaning on the gate.
Luke sat cross legged on the gate at one point & then nearly went head first over the top into the field!
Annie's little legs got tired on the return journey so Grandad helped out.
AJ does love her Grandad very much. She calls him Grandma or Grandmagrandad! Hee hee!
Gorgeous blue sky & sunshine we had for our walk that day.
Luke discovered that Grandma's pockets are bigger than his & perfect for hiding big pine cones in! We collected a lot of feathers, sticks & cones that day!
It was a lot of fun. Thankyou Mum & Dad for a lovely day!

Yes it's great fun going out with the Tribe and wandering about the hills above the town. It always seems like an adventure and there's so much to see. The children are constantly chattering like birds in a nest. Lovely!
And the bonus... it's all downhill coming home!
Love, Grandmadad
