A woman has been left baffled after finding dozens of eggs buried in her garden over the last year. Rose Ritchie, 78, first came across an egg last summer when she spotted a shell while weeding.
Weeks later she found another egg lying on the grass in her back garden while another was in a plant pot. On another occasion she found one of the shop-bought eggs on the edge of her pond at her home in the village of Studley, in Warwickshire.
At first she thought they could be animal or bird eggs but the mystery took a twist when she noticed they were all stamped with different dates. Rose said: “At first I thought a fox might have stolen them from a hen house and hidden them here for another time.
