Hey all, I am back after a short break, had to recover from a dreaded winter cold! The same cold which caused me to be a little late on the RSPCA's Cupcake Day... but better late than never hey?
I was able to raise $112 for an extremely good cause!
I love reading about other peoples pets on blogs, and I was thinking to myself that I haven't really introduced you all to my pets yet... so I surmise to rectify that! Starting off with my beloved chickens!
We only have 3 at the moment, and all are reaching over 4 years old, which is old age for a chook! They no longer lay eggs, and spend their days wondering around our yard, eating bugs and scratching around the plants. In Autumn and Winter, our olive tree gives a bounty of olives, and these 3 girls love making a morning pilgrimage to the tree to see what has fallen. Nothing makes me happier than to look out the window with a cup of tea and watch the chickens in the yard, I don't think words can describe the joy they bring me.
Ok, I am off to start on another cupcake order, 12 cupcakes, 3 different flavours! What fun! Hope you all have a fabulous weekend!

These cupcakes are SOOOO cute! And those chickens, too funny!
The cupcakes turned out so pretty, and delicious too I'm sure. I could totally go for a cupcake right now. I've got the munchies for something sweet. That happens to me a lot when I visit your blog. ;-)
Your chickens are so cute! It's sweet that they get to just peck around in your yard and enjoy their lives. I've never heard them referred to as chooks before, that's funny.
Cute cakes and for a great cause. Yay : ) I love the chicks as well...so sweet. Also, your package is on the way!
Oh yay! I saw the advert for the RSPCA thing a day too late, so i didn't end up telling you about it but looks like I didn't have to!

"Awww" to your chickens! Sometimes we've wanted to have chickens here, but with foxes everywhere it would not be a good idea! I shall be happy just hearing about your charming three :)
