Day 51

Sunday 10 May

We have been making and doing more stuff with the bits and bobs of wood that I have accumulated in the shed over the years.

First the veggie garden with raised beds and a fence, then a potting station and greenhouse trestle table, a welly boot rack and now a cold frame.

I love pottering around and seeing what can be made from salvaged scraps of this and that and the most amazing of objects, the humble pallet.

As I write this I can hear the Buzzards cawing outside and last night, after our evening walk, I spent some precious time with binoculars watching one of them hunt in the neighboring apple orchards.

I was distracted as a conflict developed between a Heron and a Crow; the Heron is a frequent, unwelcome visitor to our neighbors pond and I believe the Crow was aware of this and instructed the invader (unsuccessfully it has to be said) to noisily naff-off.
