About Hen Corner

We are Hen Corner. We love the bee keepers, the veggie bed diggers, the jam makers and cider drinkers, the chicken fanciers and the real bread bakers. But not just in the deepest darkest countryside or the far, far away villages but right here in our cities and towns.

Hooray! Today is my First Swimversary ☀️🏊🏻‍♀️💦 This day last year was the first time I swam outside in London, it was in a lake on that occasion but I’ve since enjoyed rivers, docks and the sea. I’ve knocked up 90 open water swims over the year, as cool as 3.6c and as long as 5.5km. I’ve loved every swim, good for the mind, body & soul ☀️❄️🏊🏻‍♀️💦🦢🦢 #justkeepswimming

All will be available to buy along with bread from our Bakery soon… 🍏🍎🍋🥒🌶🥕🧄🧅
