Well Chuffed With Ourselves

Derek and I are well chuffed with ourselves, we're really getting into our sustainable gift shopping (although, we know, for a lot of people it's FAR TOO EARLY to be mentioning the C word) ..........

 ....... but this morning, while out mooching, we found the perfect present for Darrell's best friend and mentor Hugh, he of Le Chicken Coop, hatcher and carer of any a posh chicken .........

...... only a copy of Beautiful Chickens (for only £1.50). It's a stunning tome, especially if you are an aficionado, like Hugh, of such birds. 

I mean, who knew, after flicking through it's pages, that such a humble, domestic type creature came is so many lovely and wonderful flavours varieties?   Hugh's going to absolutely love it!
