As it’s nearly Christmas, I thought I would share an endearing and true story about how one very special hen came to live with her owner. One winter’s morning, a kindly poultry keeper was driving along a quiet country lane when they spied a lone hen strutting along the middle of the road. As there were no houses nearby, the hero of this story knew this bird had no owner. She had simply gone AWOL, probably most likely from a nearby poultry farm. As the hen fan did not want to see a flattened spatchcock chicken, they carefully shooed the bird of very little brain from the highway onto the verge. The hen seemed oblivious to the danger she was in and nonplussed by the whole affair. She simply carried on pecking at tasty morsels she had found by the roadside. Our concerned citizen carefully explained to the chicken that crossing the road was probably not the best idea for longevity. But as the driver was in a bit of a hurry to get to work they returned to their motor vehicle and continued on their way. All the while glancing back in the rear-view mirror, concerned about the hen’s welfare. That night as dusk fell they drove back along the same rural byway expecting to find a squashed bird. But our hero could not believe their eyes, in the same spot, the little brown hen was alive and sitting down right in the middle of the road. They drew alongside the fowl, opened the passenger door and struck up a conversation with the bird. The poultry keeper said, “Look, the choice is entirely up to you. It is getting dark, you can either stay on the road here and most likely get run over or eaten by a fox in the night or you can take a chance on me and hop in and come and stay with me and the rest of my flock.” The poultry keeper then went on to explain to the chook, exactly who was who in their henhouse back home. That must have done the trick, as the bird put her head on one side in quiet contemplation for a second, then casually strolled over to the open car door and hopped into the footwell of her own accord. It gives me great pleasure to report that the bird lived a long and happy life at the top of the pecking order in a small backyard flock. Now all that is left to do before the big day is wrap my hens’ presents and wish you and your flock Merry Christmas from the girls. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6301cff625f23c538a017d0c/8effdb4d-00c6-48e4-84a5-44b8c4b1065d/new+whens.jpg Writing - The Pecking Order: Hen Column https://catthomsonwrites.com/work/people-d68f5 monthly 0.5 2025-06-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6301cff625f23c538a017d0c/4b5e68d9-b1b3-47a6-ab1d-d1bc083152fa/porthole+april+2026.jpg Writing - Travel | Reviews Porthole Cruise Magazine cover story on Faroe Islands April 2026 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6301cff625f23c538a017d0c/1772209913967-PDIO0TYKAF2ML2NWE4HP/TMI.IGMA2026_Instagram_1080x1080px_Finalist_Graphic.jpg Writing - Travel | Reviews I was nominated as a finalist in the Inspire Global Media Awards - NORDIC REGION CATEGORY 2026 Thank you to Visit Faroe Islands for hosting https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6301cff625f23c538a017d0c/1773061420391-3XD0OQNN0HY1LB0PZUKQ/Kimpton%2BClocktower%2Bupright.jpg Writing - Travel | Reviews Scotsman Magazine Kimpton Clocktower 7 March 2026 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6301cff625f23c538a017d0c/949d1a8f-c1cd-403c-8e23-c0b2f405a268/Scotsman+travel.jpg Writing - Travel | Reviews Scotsman Magazine article 6th February 2026 Two articles; Dublin and spring events https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6301cff625f23c538a017d0c/1769855873101-TGCJ2H23QSV6A1QV8WZR/IMG_4966.jpg Writing - Travel | Reviews Scotsman Magazine article 31/01/26 Two articles; Stoke on Trent and Bruges https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6301cff625f23c538a017d0c/714d80bd-d5f9-45e9-b3a6-c4bb742bea30/my+weekly+bruges+9125.jpg Writing - Travel | Reviews My Weekly Bruges 9th December 2025 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6301cff625f23c538a017d0c/93ed7af6-6d75-46b0-8936-5ba4d1c9cee3/IMG_2210.jpeg Writing - Travel | Reviews Scotsman Magazine Knockinaam Lodge Travel article 15th Nov 2025 and Vilnius Pink Soup Festival Travel Article https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6301cff625f23c538a017d0c/40e6c8aa-149f-435a-8f9a-04d2f89e4cad/IMG_9811.JPG Writing - Travel | Reviews Scotsman Magazine Knockinaam Lodge Travel article 15th Nov 2025 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6301cff625f23c538a017d0c/63faa993-8091-41a5-ad45-49b71dcb1771/IMG_2145.jpeg Writing - Travel | Reviews Alba Times Scapa Distillery Orkney Travel article 8th Nov 2025 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6301cff625f23c538a017d0c/cb775ea4-ac1d-4968-8608-a548b3557282/IMG_2149.jpeg Writing - Travel | Reviews Scotsman Magazine Travel article 8th Nov 2025 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6301cff625f23c538a017d0c/beb730ce-77cb-4778-bd9b-6dbd5b1a38e7/landmark+travel+1st+nov.jpg Writing - Travel | Reviews Scotsman Magazine 1st November 2025 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6301cff625f23c538a017d0c/d82cbb07-d95d-42f3-bd29-b6d198bc1706/IMG_1396.jpg Writing - Travel | Reviews Scotsman Magazine 25th October 2025 Gordon Arms Restaurant & Rooms https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6301cff625f23c538a017d0c/7f2a1be2-a441-4cd5-ae1d-b21e9332b053/IMG_1130.PNG Writing - Travel | Reviews Scotsman Magazine 18th October 2025 spa breaks https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6301cff625f23c538a017d0c/fe2c561e-e8ca-46a4-9956-87e71845c5d6/Ubitiquitous+chip+Scotsman.jpg Writing - Travel | Reviews Scotsman Magazine 11th October 2025 Glasgow Ubiquitous Chip https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6301cff625f23c538a017d0c/fb8bd686-2963-4f31-a4e8-87c08262f6e5/IMG_0845.jpeg Writing - Travel | Reviews Scotsman Magazine 4th October 2025 Casa Montelongo Fuerteventura https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6301cff625f23c538a017d0c/deb5a8e5-55d9-488b-af6e-13e03a43012a/Screenshot+2025-09-02+171617.jpg Writing - Travel | Reviews Glasgow Food Scene Porthole Magazine October 2025 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6301cff625f23c538a017d0c/9fd26609-d254-4caf-bc1b-94e38e0c3030/portholex.jpg Writing - Travel | Reviews Glasgow Food Scene Porthole Magazine October 2025 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6301cff625f23c538a017d0c/fa1cce23-91d6-444c-a5f9-c0f2b838e3c7/Porthole+Mgazine+August+2025+cover+story+on+Slow+travel+trip+to+Bruges.jpg Writing - Travel | Reviews Porthole Magazine slow travel to Bruges 8 page cover story https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6301cff625f23c538a017d0c/6f9d62be-5a4c-4339-ad37-d18289da8b7a/The+Three+Chimneys+Restaurant.jpg Writing - Travel | Reviews Scotsman Magazine 23 August 2025 Gourmet boltholes you should try this winter : The Three Chimneys and The Pierhouse Hotel & Seafood Restaurant Port Appin #weewinterbreaks https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6301cff625f23c538a017d0c/b66ed088-60ef-4608-b111-7823c3eb0e85/ghillie+feast.JPG Writing - Travel | Reviews Scotsman magazine travel article.
