    We must have at least two pairs of wrens because I saw two little broods of babies flying about in the summer. They are the cutest little things  :)

    I often see them when out walking round the doors @raisingirl. Flitting in and out the hedgerows. Cute as anything. Not sure if the one I see was the little baby from a couple of years ago  :)

    @Hostafan1 you’ve got the starlings as well, I thought they’d all stopped off here. 
    Thousands of them, no tits of any size or colour back yet, but gold finches and wrens
    and I expect the solitary wagtail anytime now,.   Haven’t seen any jays or woodpeckers.

    The car passed its MOT with no problems. A bit of a relief since it's the only one with kid seats and I totally forgot that the MOT ran out today despite leaving myself reminders several weeks in advance :|  I used to be a lot more organised before having children...
    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    We had wrens nesting in the polytunnel this year . I used to see Mum flapping about chirping and hear random chirping in reply, but never searched out the nest

    I half tidied mine last week - does that count?
    I've finished a new raised area for another clematis, and  my new present to myself arrived yesterday - an Acer. A late birthday/early C'mas  present. Well...why not eh?
