Headache

Somewhere there is a bird with a headache. I know because he left his print on my window...

I must find some window stickers, it is a common occurance!

Just spent an hour tidying up the garden. It's weird to be picking up autumn leaves in January when the srping bulbs are coming out! Everything is rotten and horrible and it doesn't look like I have been doing anything:


Roll on spring...
Just been looking through the garden photos and found some good ones from the snow that I think I should post:

Coming down thick


Up to my knees feeding the birds

The only place to land

Snowy garden

Everyone's talking about it so if you can't beat them, join them!





There's a garden in there somewhere...I hope the fish are alright, they must be 2 foot down by now!

Cute little fella...

Other thank picking up leaves the only activity in the garden has been feeding little Squidgy! This is Jon trying to train him...


And when it's too cold to go out, he'll even come up to and onto the step of the back door!

Fuchsias are having another quick burst of activity before winter comes on.


The wind gave the garden a bit of battering and had to pick up alot of things and re-tie the fence that is falling down. Grass seeds are not germinating, guess th esoil is too cold now. Oh well, will try again in the spring!

Feeding the wildlife...

I know we probably shouldn't feed the squirrel but he was pretty cute and amusing to watch...


He took the nuts then went and buried them all around the garden so we may have some new plants coming up in the spring! He ate the odd one in between...


Little Alice cat doesn't seem to mind him, she certainly doesn't try to chase him! Gets a bit jealous of the attention I think though...
