Uncle would have to catch and kill, which he hated doing, then aunt would pluck etc. One day she found a just-to-be-layed egg in the hen. I had the egg for breakfast the following morning!<br />By the way, the new kitten is lovely!veg artistnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1577767911269302322.post-271028286634496272022-06-29T23:35:24.304-06:002022-06-29T23:35:24.304-06:00Chips and crisps sounds like her staple diet YP.
