Hello everyone! We are Ian & Betty Pointer, based in Newbury, Berkshire. Some of you we may have met at Sally & Gruff's blessing in July at Penny's Farm. We live with a torti cat named Poppy, and 4 pekin bantams - the cockerel was hand reared by Jon & Angela (downsizers members Somewhere by the river) and consequently thinks he is human - certainly not a chicken. I am the gardener in the family and Ian is your man if you think your house might be about to fall down (although past retirement age, he still works - civil & structural).

Hello Mum!! What can we say about the cockerel Peepa... sorry, but he was cute when little, imprinted on a human hand - no wonder he's confused! And we love him anyway, not least as he likes nothing more than a cuddle - don't we all!
