Love this!
I earnt the nickname Bridget (as in Bridget Jones) from some of my dearest Somerset friends.
An accurate shout in all fairness! Love that you are all a bit Bridget with me guys!!

Just the way we are 🤍

I think the reason is such an icon is because she is SO relatable. We are all a little bit Bridget…and a BIG bit perfect. ❤️

Who likes their eggs over easy?😲
Storm Darrah flipped my Eglu!
All the 'Joy Birds' are ok fortunately, ruffled feathers maybe but unharmed. Being classic friendly Warrens, they were easy to round up and re home somewhere safe and warm.
It's been wild hasn't it?

Only one chicken?

You still need to register chook lovers! So get cracking!

There is now less than one month to go for bird keepers who haven’t done so yet to register with Animal and Plant Health Agency 🦆

Keepers in England and Wales must register by 1 October 2024, and keepers in Scotland must register by 1 December 2024.

By registering, you will help manage potential bird flu outbreaks and limit any spread. Keepers will also receive advice on steps to take to protect the health of their birds. 🐓

Find out more, including how to register or update your details: https://www.gov.uk/government/news/avian-influenza-mandatory-bird-registration-comes-into-force-in-october
