An Eggcelent Day

A fourth chick hatched this morning which was a lovely surprise because we didn't think he was going to make it. 
We managed to drag ourselves away from duckling watching to prepare lunch for 11 (my parents, my brother and his family and poppy's BF). D did a great job of slow cooking a huge beef brisket and I was in charge of veg and puddings. After lunch I set up an egg hunt for the boys, with some help from Johnnie and Poppy who helped hide the clues. 
T & J hung around until early evening and we sat around outside with  the burner lit, drinking and chatting.
