Waffleycat, that looks like an excellent house for chickens. I can see some water dispensers, but do they hunt and peck as it were for all their food or is there some readily available?
The shop where I buy eggs from, has a photo of the wall of the chickens that laid the eggs. They are in a large open space. Some shops might have gone as far as webcams for that, but this is, you must bear in mind, Worcestershire. We are on a different time-line to the rest of the country.
The Needlework shop has a sign welcoming people to browse, etc, then goes on to politely (of-course) point out that they admit to being twenty years behind the times.

They have steel food bowls on the mesh of the run. In those they get Wafflycat's Patent Food For Ex-Battery Hens Four food bowls in total on three sides of the hen house. There are two water dispensers at the front & one at the back. Then they get mealworms and other treats sprinkled about the wood chip so they get to scratch about for those. Then there are perches & a 'mirror' CD dangling for added stimulation. So they've got secure space and stimulation as well as weather protection & bird flu resistance built in, as they can't get wild bird cr4p falling in on them from above.

Nice Chicken Shack!
Well done on last night's quiz win Landers, it's all on the up & up for you these days!
Just got in from taking my Lady to work on the tandem, on way home I had the delight of shouting 'GET OFF YOUR PHONE WHILE YOUR DRIVING' thru the window of a skip lorry coming the other way, driver was furious. I do hope it was an important call.

So, how was the holiday? Did you get wet (and did it rain?)
A most excellent chicken home Waffles. Quite Luxurious. Looks slightly more roomy than my flat....
Kettle's on...

The accommodation could be useful should MrWC or WCMnr misbehave - I can banish them

With the care you lavish on the ladies, it might not be such a punishment...
. Yes, I am able to read a column heading (bangs head on desk).

Oh, if you happen to be carrying any courgettes and you go near any hens, watch out: they'll have them..

It did rain, and we did get wet. But only a tiny bit of the wet was not due to the rain.
When we arrived we discovered that it had been raining very very hard in Wales and so the Wye was going really rather fast. We managed to catch up with it and get the boat in, though, and had quite a good time.
The only really serious rain was on our first night camping in the tent (as opposed to in the van), and it only really started after we'd got the tent up and us inside it.
It made the river even faster and higher, though, and we finished the trip in only three and a half days, rather than the five or six we'd reckoned on.
The only bit of wet that wasn't rain was from the rapids at Symonds Yat, which weren't so much rapids as blisteringly fasts, and very choppy with it. Soon solved by sponging out the bottom of the canoe, though.
We started walking the South Downs Way in stages about twelve years ago, when we lived down that way. Progress in more recent years has been glacial, because the South Downs are really rather a long way from Yorkshire. So we used the left-over time to take the van to the South Downs and walk some more bits of it. Another weekend and we'll have it finished; the champagne has been laid down in anitcipation.
We did have a couple of people ask why we needed a canoe on top of the van for walking the South Downs. We referred them to the weather forecast.
