what a relief to read this and look at these ultra fabu fluff-beings!....here is the states we are infected with an ongoing/unbearable torrent of political slime as the empire descends into broken madness.....I've read with great glee your garden books/ty very much....keep writing we need you! ...btw did you ever read: Dear Friend and gardener; letters on life and gardening by Christopher Lloyd and Beth Chatto? just finished it/loved it......also recommend: Grounded in the Garden by TJ Maher...

I am currently on holiday in the Peaks and will be visiting Chatsworth which I greatly looking forward to. I used to have a wonderful Brahma called Orlando who was tricky to look after but so sweet natured. I love reading of your hens, they are such joyful creatures.

A wonderful piece of writing Arthur. I love that you invest heavily in your flock, both with love and fancy kit. I can’t imagine how nerve racking it must be to send a precious egg through the post! I’m intrigued to see a fabric saddle, how on earth does it stay on? Long may the extra book cash continue. I think that photo Lady D and the pig, should be in the ‘Bible of British taste’.
