Hen from down under!

A new kid on the block, I brought this hand made door stopper hen back from NZ. A neighbour of my DIL makes them. She is very smart & has sequins under her wing!
Not very imaginative today with my posting but I am short of ideas & inspiration.

I had my feet done today by Cathy & I am proud to say I had a burst blister on the sole of my foot from last weeks dancing !!!!


Three good things:
1. A letter from Eileen whom I met in the check in queue at Manchester airport & shared a room with in Chester sent me a letter today....it made my day! I lost track of her at Dubai & wondered how she had fared on her journey to Perth.
2. No horses hurt in the Grand National today.
3. NZ have put their clocks back....so much easier to ring when they are eleven hours ahead of us & not thirteen.

Love this hen, sequins under her wings, how decadent! So glad to hear no horses were hurt in the GN, I once placed a bet years ago when there was that mass accident and have never betted on it since because I felt somehow to blame.

[Jean Tookey]

That's great. Very colourful. yes it was good to hear that no horses were hurt in the National. Boat race tomorrow!

[KWind]

What a cute hen!

[Jen Hudson]

She is cute, always admire people who are good at this stuff.

It looks more cooperative than the chicken I tried to photograph today. Every time I bent down to take a shot it came running towards me.

Super hen -- but I am sure she doesn't provide you with your Sunday's treat of boiled eggs !!

[Sarah Bremner]

Just love your hen! Wonder if it added a lot of weight to your luggage?
And like you I was glad there were no horses hurt at the Grand National!

[Al Bailey]

Very glad no horses got hurt today.
What a lovely door stop! lovely shot :)

[Dianne]

What a gorgeous hen and lovely shot of her.

[Claire]

Quieter than the real thing;0) she is very regal and rich looking

[🐞Lucy Dolittle]

What a cheerful and beautiful doorstop, would suit my home! I agree about the national! I hate it when horses get injured.

[Judith Greenwood]

She's rather splendid. Good news on the National - our physio from up the road is up there - they have to have a medical (and presumably vet) team on every fence and he is the Jockey Club physio - always good for a bit of gossip about how it all works.

[Loopy-Lou]

Gorgeous door stop, wonderful capture.

[Phil Howcroft]

lovely shot Pat. I must ask though, we all give our inanimate objects names. So don't be shy, what is her name :) ?

[Pat Knowles]

@phil_howcroft she hasn't got a name Phil...should have really I suppose but she sits by the dining room door &thats about it!

[Phil Howcroft]

awww poor hen . Well I've just been on the NZ government website and the most popular female name for new births in NZ is ............ Charlotte.

Charlotte Hen ? Sounds OK to me :)

[Maggiemae]

At first I thought it was a teapot cover! This would be pretty big! Yes, put our clocks back and an extra hour to get up and make pancakes for breakfast after chasing the cat from our bedroom very early!

[Sue Wilde]

What a super addition

[Pat Knowles]

@phil_howcroft ha ha Phil....Charlotte she is from now on! She will be grateful she has a name at last!

[Babs]

Super shot. She looks as though she has settled into her new home quite nicely.

[Rick Schies]

A nice decorative door stop

[bkb in the city]

Very nice

[Chris Stapleton]

Cool

[Phil Howcroft]

@happypat hi charlotte :-)

[Dione Giorgio]

Beautiful shot, beautiful ornament.

[Myrna O'Hara]

what a cutie, love the colors of this.

[Gillian]

What a great idea for a door stopper! I'm sure she'll do well with them.

[Karin Hirsch]

Now that's a neat door stopper

[Christine]

Cute

Oooh I want to peep under her wing! How's the new iPad Air going? Finally got my mum's tablet sorted. She hadn't been pushing the wrong buttons as we suspected. Telecom changed their security, sent her an email to tell her what to do but of course she couldn't get in to read it.ni brought it home today and googled etc then got it going. She will be pleased to be in communication again with her grandies. 😊

Nice hen. How cool that you get a random letter (an actual letter, too, none of this email lark) from someone you met in a check-in queue. That - and the dance-blister - reflect rather well on you I think.
