Period vampires.

[AMc]

If you want to watch a programme about Vampires I recommend all 3 series of Being Human on DVD - or the latest ones on iPlayer if they're still there.
Cracking stuff and no tedious goths.

I couldn't agree more - the second series wasn't so good, but the first and third are great - and I am in mourning that the third has ended!

FWIW The online spin off "Becoming Human" is floating around in the BBC digital schedules this week and on iPlayer here

Joce - are these the flamingoes that are living in the spare bedroom until it gets warmer outside?

On the subject of real life - have just bought some ring-necked pheasant hatching eggs from eggbay - should arrive just as the goslings hatch (6/8 candled). I love pheasants... these are just to release and not eat. The fox will probably do that.

Turkey eggs turned out to be dud.

Any other period fowl suggestions for my incubator (please don't suggest any of your fancy chickens with big hairdos and legwarmers though!) ?

Just seen this. :lol: Little quails? Ducks? Partridges? Guinea fowl?
So sorry about the turkeys - don't give up. Good luck with the pheasants, though I wonder how successful you'll be at persuading them off your land? I currently have 2 wild boy pheasants in love with my legbar chickens, who look very like a fat female pheasant. One of the legbars looks like she might be tempted to go wild and follow them. They're a beautiful sight, those boys, and I don't mind the extra grain it costs me.
