On a journey together
I have just secured another Downtube orange FS9 Downtube folding bike from eBay to replace my old orange FS8 which has a knacked broken frame. Will pick up bike this Friday from the seller. This secondhand bike is costing me more money than my original new one cost me which is 5 years ago.
After 5 years of faithful use my orange VIIIFS Downtube folding bike has given up the fight. Cycling home Wednesday evening and the complete bottom bracket snapped off the frame, leaving the front crank dragging on the floor and me having to walk home!!
The ‘Ladies‘ have arrived in Oprington on Saturday 15 May. What we mean is, we picked up four ex-battery hens at the weekend and have given them a nice, new fox proof home, that I have been building for the last couple of weeks.

Lets introduce them:
Ethel: Who looks the worst for wear, as she is missing alot of feathers from all over her body and is the smallest ‘Lady’, but she has been the one who has explored them quickest and has a have go attitude.
Barbara: Who is the best looking and and the biggest and bossyist ‘Lady’.
Mavis: Is pretty quite and yet to make any waves. She has most of her feather, mingled with a few bare patches.
Gertuda: Is simular to Mavis, but has a mishapen wing and alot has a couple of bare patches.
