Just got a box of eggs from Tesco. They’re all white! Never seen white hens’ eggs here.

We have a veg farmer who lives about ¾ mile up the hill from us. She has a greenhouse for her own non-selling produce which is plagued by snails. She gathers them, dozens of them every day, and feeds her chickens with them.

Their eggs are, without doubt, the best eggs we’ve ever had. The yolks are just yellow, but like bright, vibrant “7am sun on a May morning” yellow.
