For a treat at the end of the hols the beautiful boy and I visited one of our favourite nature reserves, here. Lots of long muddy walks through water meadows...
...and long moments sitting in hides waiting for something special to come along, whilst I watched my special boy!
And lots of proud mum's with their little fluff balls everywhere! Which brings me to eggs! Lovely Lottie treated us with a gift of a dozen quails eggs.
They are SOoo pretty! I had to get a photo before we ate them! First we had the little diddies boiled for breakfast (I have a duck-egg cup but has anyone ever seen a quail-egg cup?) Yes, you're right, they're too small for soldiers!
Then, for a real greasy spoon treat, beautiful boy had some fried with bacon and chips for tea! Lucky boy! Thank-you Lottie!

This is the honesty stall where we usually buy our eggs; on Brenda's farm. We are so well served for good small-holder eggs around here we would never need to keep our own chickens!

Looks like a great day - very relaxing.
Aren't the quails eggs so pretty....I've never actually tasted one....but, as you know I do have a flock of my own chicken ladies who keep us in eggs.....they don't live in a fabulous purple palace though!
Have a great weekend,

As you saw -mine is very 'Heath Robinson' as I made it myself.
When dearlove wins the lottery I will have a lovely run built too - but for now I will daydream of your neighbours.
I am really enjoying your blog - so glad that you decided to have one - and I love the colour scheme too!
See you soon my dear Gardening Angel.
P.S.
I don't suppose you could change your blogger setting so that anyone can leave a comment can you? You an still leave your workd verification active - but it would mean that those visitors who do not have a blogger account will be able to leave messages.
(People like me who have old blogspot accounts and now have another blog instead LOL)
I will add you to my website.
