philmayfield 6,126 Posted December 9, 2020 Report Share Posted December 9, 2020 It’s a long way to come just to view some measly lights. It’s so dull and miserable all round at the moment that I thought I would get into the spirit of this pagan festival of Winterval and bring joy into the hearts of others. I can’t see it lasting for long though! It’s the switch on ceremony at 4.30. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jill Sparrow 10,305 Posted December 9, 2020 Report Share Posted December 9, 2020 Winterval, Phil? Don't you mean Saturnalia? Well, it's better than celebrating Uranus! Better start getting into the festering mood or Yule be sorry! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
philmayfield 6,126 Posted December 9, 2020 Report Share Posted December 9, 2020 I’ve just been down to switch the lights on and see that half the lane have got lights. It’s lit up like bloody fairyland out there! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PeverilPeril 3,281 Posted December 9, 2020 Report Share Posted December 9, 2020 Chooks all locked up until further notice. Gave the coup and run a good clean and refreshed with lots of clean litter. Also added a high roosting bar in the covered run. Got to keep them exercised while they can't come out to play. Our free range eggs will now become 'barn' eggs. If all commercial hens are locked up, will free range eggs still be available? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
