I’m Rachel. I grow vegetables and love chickens.

Hands up if you know a chicken the same 🙋🏼‍♀️ I’m joking, I’m fairly sure the hens are 95% cabbage at this point. But they are repulsed by alfalfa blocks - potentially the first thing they’ve ever not eaten 😂 Anyway point still stands, it’s no doubt going to be a long old flockdown but we’re still the best entertainment. 😉 Also sorry I couldn’t take you to the chorus of this excellent song but stick it on tomorrow morning and belt it out, works a charm every time ✌🏻 #chickensandtunes (might well be my new hashtag seven years in the making 😂) #exbatteryhens #exbatts #chickensofinstagram

January: a time to get on with lots of garden jobs. Or, in case you need to hear it, a time to do absolutely bloody nothing 💁🏼‍♀️.

‘Woman having an emotional crisis she’s going back to work on Thursday and hasn’t planted the rest of her bulbs’ - a four part story.

For a long time I felt there was a pressure to achieve - that happiness was found in the big moments, goals and ambitions. But I’m increasingly aware my happiness comes from the small moments. The morning cup of tea in the garden. The evening glass of wine with the hens in my pjs. Growing food, getting muddy, watching Arlo share my passion. Walking through fields with Dylan, holding hands with my little team, soaking up the great outdoors. It doesn’t mean I lack ambition, it just means I’m exactly where I’m meant to be right now. So no grand plans or resolutions from me - don’t sweat it if you don’t have any either. Looking back at 2022, I’m hoping for more of the same ❤️. Thanks for sticking around while I’ve been sporadic, wishing you every happiness for 2023. (And wishing us *slightly* less of the Bluey soundtrack played on repeat… 👌🏻)

Nothing says ‘Merry Christmas, I love you’ like a bum in your face 🐓. Penny - an unexpected joy of 2022 ❤️
