Well that awful news is just too much. Perhaps by tonight when I listen to Alice before bed my eyes won't be leaking... thank you for the sustaining walkabout until you return.

Nature can be very cruel sometimes and such is the heartbreak of farming sometimes(I know only too well, I am a farm girl). Your reading is so heartwarming, I feel like a small child be read to again. Pure bliss. Thank you!! Wishing you safe travels and enjoy that pie for you breakfast.

My brother/sister-in-law have had a series of chickens, many wiped out overnight by something. This is always a horror and an upset.

Yes. I am so sad. Let’s hope whatever it was (or what pack) did not come even closer!

Sad news about the ducks but probably better to happen while you’re there than after you’re gone. Safe travels. It’s hot where I am but hopefully Melbourne won’t be too bad. Although why anyone would live in Melbourne is beyond me 😂. Have a great time.

Sad about the ducks. I know that everything has to eat/animal instincts but...

Oh so sorry for your loss. It is so heartbreaking. I’ve had a flock of ducks decimated by a predator. And lost my breeding drakes from another line to a different threat. So many challenges living on the edge of wilderness. Sending some hugs.

I'm so sad to read this C. Did they eat them or savage them and leave them??
