Chickens # 6 - The Shop at the farm gate!

We don't have much passing trade at Tymawr farm, being the last but one house on a no-through road with four houses on it!  However, there is a footpath which runs through 2 of the fields, and the lane outside the gate connects a few footpaths and bridle paths, so we thought an 'honesty box' might be worth a try.  After a late flash of inspiration during children's bathtime, I rushed out after bedtime stories and made this:


The sign was inherited - found amongst my late great aunt's things - it's reversible - the other side says 'LAMB' - would be great to use that side in a few years too!

We've been making egg box labels and an honesty box this evening, so tomorrow morning I'll stock up the "Egg Shelter" and see what happens!


We're now full of inspiration and enthusiasm, jams, chutneys, etc. etc. are being discussed with relish (sorry!).
