Spring chickens

I called in at Cathy's on my way home from Manchester & her hens were enjoying the the garden in the sunshine.

Three good things:
1. A fun time with friends.
2. The biggest, fattest & most delicious club sandwich last night, I could hardly get my mouth round it!
3. Premier Inn advertise on the strength of their comfortable beds. I can agree with them, mine was such a deep mattress that I had to hoist myself up onto, my feet dangled off the floor by a mile!
4. Last but not least it's our youngest sons birthday today, a very happy birthday Anthony! I tried to call him last night after the show, middle of the day in NZ but it didn't work out.

The hens look full of beans - and handsome. (That's not somebody's trouser legs hanging in the tree lol?)

[Judith Johnson]

Lovely green grass too Pat. Lots of rain lately?

[Allison Williams]

I've heard the expression, "we're not Spring chickens!" And now I'm actually seeing them!

[Newbank Lass]

My bed on sat will be a premier inn bed!!

@quietpurplehaze
Oh how funny I never noticed it's Cathy's washing! Posted so quickly I never saw them! Sharp eyes Hazel although now I see them you can't miss!

[Pat Knowles]

@newbank another one for me too on Saturday, I'm off to London at the weekend! Hope you're going somewhere nice!

[Penelope Ann]

Love the title

[Pat Knowles]

@busylady No not really Judith, just spring growth I think!

[Dianne]

Lovely happy hens. I went to collect the eggs yesterday and there were none. Think our girls are on winter holiday already!

[Beryl Lloyd]

Something lovely about having a few hens pecking away in the garden or orchard , nd just think of those lovely fresh eggs ! -- nice photo Pat !

[bkb in the city]

Nice shot

[Pat Knowles]

@beryl @dide nothing like your own eggs when they are laying that is! Winter break then Dianne?

[Bep]

Nice composition, nice title.

[Maggiemae]

Lucky and happy hens - hope they lay their eggs in the nesting box and not under a bush! A good club sandwich is always my downfall but I try to make it the whole meal. Especially done with ham off the bone!

[Phil Howcroft]

ahh if we were only still spring chickens Pat !!!!!1

[Margo]

Love it FAV

[essiesue]

For me, this is just a "happy photo". Fun capture.

[Jane Pittenger]

They look so happy out foraging

[Wendy]

Such a rural scene! Very nice to see them rooting around.

[Dawn]

Very nice

[Babs]

Happy hens out for a stroll.

[Pat Knowles]

@phil_howcroft you're a spingier chicken than me!

[Pat Knowles]

@maggiemae there were chips with it too!!

[Jennifer]

lovely hen shot. happy Birthday to Anthony

[Newbank Lass]

We are in London too Pat. We were supposed to be at the Fleet Street one but they are refurbishing the restaurant so we've moved to one at Aldgate instead. What are you doing in London? We're going for Sammys birthday treat. He doesn't yet know we are going first class breakfast train down!

[Pat Knowles]

@newbank first class, I love it, such a treat for you all, there's something about eating a proper meal on a train! I am going for a girlie weekend, there are six if us going down to the London Palladium to see Daniel O ' Donnell in a show. He is a friend of ours & ive never been to the Palladium before!

[Pat Knowles]

@newbank we are in the London Bridge one.

[Newbank Lass]

@happypat ooohhh... that was our other option of possible change to! Enjoy.

[Sue Cooper]

They must be very happy hens with a lovely garden like that to play in.

[Pat Knowles]

@newbank to be honest I think the London Bridge one is a bad choice, miles off the Palladium, it's going to take us ages to get across town in the evening rush hour! I would have booked one nearer to Euston myself.

[Peggy Sirk]

A delightful shot! I wish I lived in an area where I could have chickens. :)

[Boxplayer]

Very plump hens.
