The chickens and their adventures!

Dear friends it is with great sadness that I would like to notify you all that Hiroko has decided to shut down Tsuchi No Yado B & B Australia as from 30th June 2012. I am sure it was not and the decision for her.

Hello everyone. Hiroko-san is now at the Yado. She will be returning to Japan on the 27th of June so, if you'd like to catch up with her, please arrange a time soon.

Yesterday evening when I went to feed the chickens I noticed that one had escaped and was outside the property walking along the side of the highway. I tried unsuccessfully to lure her back under the fence for about an hour (in the dark and rainy night!) because we can't actually get on to the highway from the Yado - the only way to get onto the highway is get in a car and drive to Mt Barker. So that's what we ended up doing! As we drove along we shined a torch out the window until we found the Yado's rear fence - very difficult in the dark! I then jumped out the car with a torch and a blanket and searched through the scrub to find our fugitive chicken sleeping in the grass! When she saw me coming she got up and bolted back through the fence. It was 9pm when she finally joined her family in the coop. I thought that this morning she might have looked a little worse for wear but her adventure doesn't seem to have phased her at all! I hope she appreciates the effort we went to to rescue her!

How many people get to spend a day at work chopping vegetables for their chickens while being watched by a koala? :-)
