My Three Muskettes.

My Three Lovely Ladies.

A story of my love for my three feathered friends.

They are not for everyone but I just love my wonderfully noisy trio. Every morning I am greeted with a high pitched squeak, I greet them we have a little chat, they peck at my feet and my hands in a playful way, they throw water over me and usually do a poo right where I'm about to walk, yes my ladies have awful coop etiquette, but all that aside they sure brighten up my day.

Rita, Cilla & Ruby have been with us since October, they are the most wonderful pets to keep, low maintenance and daily rewards, which are yummy.

Right now we have more eggs than we know what to do with them.

 Cilla, Rita & Ruby. (excuse the dirty coop crocs)

We keep one egg in there so they know where to lay.

 Cilla is the noisy one.

 Three beautiful, clean eggs everyday. Omelette for lunch anyone?

 Oh yeah, I really feel for ladies out there in the cold, this is my pond, totally frozen over again, poor little fishy's, still no sign of snow, every year it's the same, the whole country seems to be covered and at a standstill and Wrexham just keeps plodding on, oh well!

A little more incite into my little family and my pretty mundane life.

Walking in a Winter Wonderland.
A romantic day out in Manchester

Today I experienced something quite magical. Albert Square in Manchester not to be mistaken for the Soap Opera setting in East London, was transformed into what can only be described as a Winter Wonderland. As we approached, I could see the wonderful twinkling light - it was a rather mild December afternoon but as it being the shortest day of the year, you can only imagine it being eerily dark for 2pm. The aromas were tickling my nostrils, as I hadn't eaten a single thing all day I was hoping to sample some of these incredible looking goodies all around me. I was spoilt for choice, there was everything from German Hot Dogs to Paella, Macaroons to Belgium Chocolate covered banana's.
First stop though had to be the famous German beer stall. Not being a big drinker any more I now prefer drinking for pleasure and appreciation rather than to get drunk. The beer had a strong flavour but was cold and crisp, yummm.

Here I am sampling the German beer, I'm not going to lie this got me merrily on my way, no more for Laurie Rose that was for sure.

Henry & I (he could have smiled)
A day out in Manchester never fails to amaze me everytime, I always uncover new wonders. The northern quarter is probably one of my most favourite places to visit, the array of vintage shops, musky vinyl outlets get me lost in wonder.
Definitely a day out for everyone.
