Spring in the air

I think Spring must have arrived in this part of Brittany.

The last couple of days have been really mild and there is a definite spring feel outside. The birds have started singing, the chickens are laying double quantity and our new male duck is getting very frisky with his goose 'mother'. I think the lighter evenings have kicked everything into gear.

Caroline and I have abandoned work inside for the last two days to take advantage of the weather. We been mowing lawns (which sadly revealed some serious hidden mole activity), painting fences, a bit of gardening and tidying.  Caroline has gone off to our local farmer - whose tractor lifted the plasterboard - to help milk his herd of cows. A bit of Ricard inside Caroline this evening and a pint of full fat milk on my cornflakes tomorrow.
