I'm at that stage when you think you've done almost everything you need to do before going away, but suspect there's something vital you've neglected...
Eleven long-tailed tits on our fat cake this morning. I've re-filled it, but suspect they might have got through it all in the next week...
Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.

If you remember what it is when you're there give us a shout ... we'll sort it out for you have a lovely time

Joyce - it was mine. It's a plain grey jacket with a zip fastener and, of course, I couldn't get one the right colour so I'm using the top stitching to make the zip look like it belongs. Now I just need to get the steam iron to steam reliably and I can press on - in both senses.
I hope you and LP have all the food and heating supplies you need. Sounds tough up there but probably beautiful.

Joyce ... you stay indoors too ..... the same goes for everyone up there, Fairy included, and Pdoc and Mrs P and anyone else snowbound...... big pot of Cockaleekie with parsley dumplings here ... I'll lob some over if your supplies run low ...

oh? We get lots of bullfinches - there were 3 pairs outside the window the other day, scootling about among the brambles. But I think most of the old farm orchards are long gone - there must be something else attracting them hereabouts. Lots of greenfinches and goldfinches too. And wagtails - grey as well as pied - and greater woodpeckers. I was watching one of those swinging around on the neighbour's bird feeder earlier in the week .
I am always amazed by how loud wrens are. Teeny little birds - huge voice
Raining here. Again. We had hail and thunder yesterday and this morning, gales all day and more tonight, and rain. Lots of rain.
Hope everyone with snow keeps safe and warm

Ah
We get wrens creeping about in the clematis ... as you say, they know how to make themselves heard
