Sunday 14 February I’ve noticed how the birds really bring movement to the views at this time of year. The scenery is pretty empty of movement in the winter. Mostly this is because the trees and hedgerows are skeletal with little to no foliage. Even the strongest winds produce nothing but sound. But the hopsContinue reading “Day 331”

Day 259
Friday 04 December It’s going to be a short post today. Plenty has happened but I am whacked. It’s 10.45pm and I’ve been round to see Dad. He had is stent procedure midweek and is struggling; physically he feels drained but it’s mentally where he is needing recovery time the most. Everyone is finding lifeContinue reading “Day 259”

Saturday 12 September Oh my, I love Saturday mornings. That feeling, after a challenging week at work, of waking up when your ready rather than when the alarm tells you. Then, a large cup of fresh coffee in bed and a few chapters of my book. This morning, we went on a balmy, late summerContinue reading “Day 176”
Day 133
Friday 31 July About a week and half ago I turned an old shallow sink into a birdbath. Sealed the plug hole with an old jam jar lid and popped in a couple of brick bits. I filled it with tap water from the hose as I knew there were nymphs in the water-butt. NotContinue reading “Day 133”
