I just want to say I really appreciate your updates on your farm life and village because it’s so nice to just have some low-stakes wholesome news for once. I’m genuinely like oh thank god I get to read about dormice and cheese drama and haunted candy instead of, y’know, everything else. I hope you and all your animals are doing well and the garden is recovering from the storm!
Well, speaking of the storm—and if you want some real drama for a change—I was too ashamed to report on this but I left my scareslug chickens out in the garden during the hailstorm and they were disfigured. The storm made monsters out of them. Look what became of these once-proud warriors who stood impotently between my courgettes and the slugs:
Maimed. A shadow of its former self.
This one just looks like a traumatised Lorax.
They weren’t very good at their job but they didn’t deserve this fate. RIP.
