It is nice when the artificial intelligence takes over and turns your comments into inane and garbled gobbledegook. It adds variety and distinction.
I have a picture of your hens arranging their eggs to dangle off the branches of conifer treats.
v. christmassy.
hens pooing off the branches of conifer treats could be problematic.

And there was me imagining that you provided them all with their own tree & a present under each one for them 
predictive text can be a blessing & a curse

It’s the darkest time of the year, but people are brightening it up if they can. Our Church put on a Longest Day session via Zoom so that anyone who wanted to from our rural communities could join in and quite suddenly the bulbs have started coming up in the garden

Lea hard at work making Christmas lunch. Straining Brussels sprouts
in her Christmas jumper
My mother bought a large collection of decanters and glasses in the 70s and we have them out every Christmas - and rarely at other times
Sweet meats (Goes well with a sherry says Lea)
A shared season with all and any

I bet them chucky eggs taste delish @Pds
We had some given us the other day proper chuckies, the taste took us back to when we @Bobbi were kids (a million years ago). Not like the little chuckies we get from the milk man’s wagon. 
I took a photo of the eggs, just so it reminds me more than you what they look like.
Here you go you can have a look too. And it is supposed to be a Christmas Picture Thread.
DO I WIN THE PRIZE @Bobbi ?
Can I have a food mixer to make some cake wiv please?

Lea, I envy you your kitchen tap. I wanted one for Christmas and all I got in my stocking was a finger exerciser and some wire brushes 
I think Santa’s Elves must have got our letters mixed up in their mischief making

My only comment is to award Great Sympathy to that poor hen’s botty after laying what looks like an ostrich baby’s egg.
‘Gas and air, nurse, gas and air, now!!’

Not any old eggs but laid by our four girls . On egg flavour. Remember vividly the taste of eggs as a nipper, think battery eggs started in mid sixties, up till then all commercial eggs were free range grass grazing. On keeping our own , grass not practical so they have to be content with any greenery we give them . Access to the lawn is allowed at times but they seem to be escaping more and having a good time.

We don’t have any hens ourself but we do get given some eggs from the hens from one of hubby’s customers and they taste much nicer than shop bought.
