Egg hunt

Now that we've had frosts and enough time for last year's perennials to die back fully, the eggs that we believed had been laid by Mrs Bun around the garden have now come to light. She must have tucked herself under the foliage to have a bit of privacy whilst she popped them out. Who knows how long they have been there, little peachy marbles that look from a distance like polished stones. They  must have been frozen and thawed out several times and as no mice have broken the shells to eat the contents I'm wondering if the contents have congealed like those awful 'I'm a celebrity' food challenge ones. I may just test it out later.
Today we have sunshine!!!!!
The ladies are out and about in the garden and instead of huddling up in the greenhouse they are in the borders and chasing away the magpies. Right now there are four of them having a little sunbathe in one of their favourite spots - the raspberry patch. Bless them.
