stubborn turkeys and cadbury's chocolate

We had sun, clouds, hail, gales, rain, more sun and further showers. When the sun came out it was boiling. When it disappeared it was freezing. At one point the sky was split with blue and black and a rainbow in between. It was all very dramatic and a good distraction from such mundane tasks as doing the tax. Teresa is a problem. Every time one of the chickens lays near her she steals the egg and wont be shifted. The eggs under her are at least a week past their hatching date. We had a nice afternoon in Montmorillon and paused for a coffee outdoors in between showers. This time of year is stunning - everything is so green and fresh and new. HyperU now sells cadbury's chocolate. This is good news.
