I have already made tentative arrangements to go
I was at first a bit concerned that the owner posted the offer on the 1st April and before noon
I had thought spotted the offer previous years, but not knowing anything about looking after hens, didn't chase it up. Jean says she is fine looking after hens, so this year I responded. Others have previously taken him up on the offer and say it is great there, a mile from the sea in south Wales, yet no near neighbours, plenty of private space.
I guess it is about looking after the hens and keeping an eye on the place too, whilst the owner is away.
