Escapee is back!

DAY 16 - EGG COUNT 5
Good news, the escapee is back, she was there when my husband checked on them early last evening and didn't seem any the worse for her little adventure - expect she left an egg somewhere in the back field but we're not desperate enough to go searching for it. We must have two dozen in the basket at the moment and I'm running out of ideas of how to use them up. There's only so many omelettes and victoria sponges a family can eat. Perhaps we will set up a table at the end of our drive and offer them for sale but then that would only upset our man dog who's greatest joy in life (other than going for a walk or eating) is to lie by the gate and bark at everyone and anything that passes by. We don't need a doorbell or knocker in our house as he lets us know the second anyone's foot is on the property, bark, bark, bark ... I have given up shouting at him now and simply rap on the window which usually brings him flying through the dog flap and I will give him a small treat - on a good day, he'll get through about half a kilo of dog biscuits but that's a small price to pay for my sanity.
