Hi all, I got back from Kent with Sally and Henry late yesterday evening.They both travelled really well and I was so relieved to get them away from the neighbour feeding them cabbage and apples and cucumber! All the weeds for them to eat in abundance in the garden too They had a little look around early today, but then it got cold so they went back to bed - frightened the life out of me as I couldn't find them for ages - too many bushes to hide under.I took a few pics but not very interesting so hope to get better ones tomorrow. Henry - as I expected - needs his beak trimming again, so he's off to Holly House on Tuesday, along with Sally for a check up/worm count etc. I cannot express how overjoyed I am to have them back with me, mum wouldn't part with them before! A friend came over today and could not believe how big and heavy thety are either. Ah well, can't wear red shos or slippers now as Henry has a liking for eating anything red- found out as a teenager wearing red nail varnish on my toe nails, very painful too. Hope to work out how to post pics tomorrow,Yvette
