La Chatte Gitane : When the Egg Layers Arrived

La Chatte Gitane (or The Gypsy Cat) was the name we chose for our cottage in France at the time. We chose it while on the road, moving house the first time round, from Ireland to France with 2 dogs and 7 cats in the car.

This blog began its insignificant life as a recipe book for friends and family who would ask me repeatedly for a recipe of this, that and the other.

Since then it has taken many different directions, like we did and like gypsies tend to do. Sometimes making a U-turn and revisiting familiar roads and taking a break when necessary.

You'll find recipes here, but also musings about the places we've called home, the gardens that we've established, not always successfully, the homes we've improved and the environments we've lived in. Currently, after yet another stint in Ireland, we're back in France @ Le Mas d'Ayen

When the Egg Layers Arrived

In one of the previous posts I wrote about the building of the chicken coop. You can read about it here .
As soon as our volunteers Silvio and Franzi had finished the fence and gate, we went to the Wednesday market in Kenmare and got us 5 point of lay hens. This was in the spring of 2014.
