look what i got given today

it needs some work including a new roof for the nesting box and new sections for the nesting on the inside and possibly a new floor and a lick of paint but its lovely!

It has a stand as well to it is normally off the floor, im going to build a run onto the side of it x

I also got given a new plot this weekend its narrower than the last one, but to be honest i dont mind, the ground is more solid, it backs onto the local river so the drainage is a lot better. It is an end plot so it has three sides i can put a gate on too, it will be a lot better - once i cut all the rushes back!!

I haven't even touched it yet, its so heavy, its a struggle to get it over to my plot. Ill be honest there has been a part of me over the last few weeks that just thought of not bothering with it and getting a new one. But i'm not going to give in with it, i'm going to get it up and running, when i've moved it over. I'm thinking of taking off the front and putting a whole new one on so that opens as a big door. When the weather gets better ill be bothered to look at it hahahaha xx
