Bo Peep

Since contracting shingles seven weeks ago, spending the days in a complete daze and having only a couple of hours sleep at night, I haven't felt like doing much of anything, let alone writing this Blog. However, at last the pain is abating and I can now cope without swallowing loads of painkillers on a daily basis.

Due to a combination of painkillers and lack of sleep, (most days spent in a complete fog!) I was unable to cope with looking after the forum. The team of Brit-Gen moderators took over everything for me, and I must tell you that if it hadn't been for them, the forum would have been off line for several weeks, which would have been a disaster for everyone. The moderators of this forum, truly are the very best.

We have heaps of new products for you at the Parish Chest so please do pop over and take a peek. There is bound to be at least one item that will take your fancy.

My last batch of turkeys for 2011 were due to hatch last week. One poult had just popped out of its shell and the others were pipping, when suddenly there was a power outage. I was hoping the remaining poults would hatch, but alas, heat and humidity were rapidly lost from the incubator and only the first poult survived. I am delighted to report that this little chap is thriving and so he wouldn't be lonely, I managed to buy a couple of day old Narragansett poults to keep him company.

Our last outing (event) for 2011, is the Glamorgan FHS Open Day which is being held at Rhydycar Leisure Centre, Merthyr Tydfil on the 10th. September. If you are in the area, it would be great to see you.
