  1. I seriously love your painting Zara, the chooks are adorable. Very clever! Look at your real chooks inside...they look very comfy. It looks like your roast beetroot wont be too far away. Stay warm x

  5. Love your watercolour efforts, both of you that is! Cheeky chooks inside, once I came home from work when my MIL was minding the kids and there was a neatly deposited dry chook poo on my pillow! Yep unsupervised chooks up on our bed! I like to think it was because MIL was providing superior supervision of the children hence not noticing what the chooks were up to! mel x

  7. What a gorgeous start to winter. Shenanigans with the chickens, date loaf and sewing, sounds like perfection to me. I also love your watercolour chooks. It would make the loveliest wrapping paper. Melinda x

  13. Gorgeous watercolours - clever couple! Love that fabric and the chooks are too cute. Just about to get some chookies about that size this week. Not sure how I'll feel about them coming inside the house, though. Haha x

  15. All beautiful images Zara. You are so very talented, as is your partner I see.
    I absolutely love date loaf, have a beautiful recipe that's made in the cylindrical tin with lids at both end. Beautiful round slices of deliciousness!
    Your beetroot looks very healthy, as do your beautiful, young, cheeky Sussex chooks.

  20. Oh No chooks inside!!, Please don't tell me that you've put chicken wire in the cupboard doors in the kitchen so you don't have to walk anywhere to collect the eggs! EeeeK! seriously though , they look beautifully happy and content inside the house!
