Tom and the most peaceful lab I've ever met!

It was so great to do a photoshoot in the weekend where not only I was taking photos of some truely beautiful people in the fresh country air and 'spring on it's way' sunshine, but we were also surrounded by lots of lots of rescue chickens!
Rescue chickens, if you're unaware are those that are taken from the cruelty of caged battery farms - usually in an unrecognisable state, without feathers and pecked, moulting and rubbed from the stress of caged living - and brought back to life by the kindness of people, like my friend Pip's parents who have had many of these chickens you see for over a year. In that time the chickens have been able to range around freely, exercising and eating in the sunshine and enjoy relaxed living. Their feather's have grown back, and they have started laying again! And beautiful eggs too I can add. I was given a dozen as I left and Ali and I had them scrambled the next day - bright yellowy orange yolks. Definitely happy chickens had made them!
Thanks Pip and co for making us so happy! And I hope you love these photos as much as I loved taking them!
