Sussex may have missed out on the catwalk, but they feature as page 100 girls in a new magazine. |
Hot Dang! I missed the National Poultry Show, held in Hamilton last weekend. I’d planned to go, but two biggies — Life and Work — got in the way. So I’ve rustled up some props (fallen leaves) with which to hold my own Poultry Show. Here, right at home and with no rosette-claiming characteristics apart from audacity, my chooks strut their stuff.
Oh, and if you find yourself near a branch of New World in the near future, slip in and get a copy of that supermarket’s Real magazine (July–August issue) so you can read my double-page spread on “Backyard Beauties” — keeping chickens. The magazine also has recipes and other interesting things, such as how to “Make your own Mug Warmer”.

such fine looking feathered friends show or no-show !
ReplyDeleteSuch handsome girls ... every bit as impressive - and in some cases more so - as the Hamilton collection ( I know - I was there!).
ReplyDeleteThank you both. They've come a long way since the autumn moult.
