    Nothing to do with gardening, but I really enjoyed reading this article.

    Every day this week, while working in the garden, I've thought: "Wouldn't it be nice to eat my breakfast out here?" and the next morning I forget until it's too late.  Today I remembered!  And yes, it was very nice.  Despite the herring gull casting greedy glances at my breakfast from the garage roof.

    Where's she been then?  ;)

    Simple pleasures today when out [despite the ridiculous number of people who don't know what 2 metres is, and expect me to hover in the air or something  >:)] - jackdaws picking up little tufts of dried grass in the field, a sparrow having a dust bath, the celandines making headway on the verges, and even some bluebells appearing - proper ones, not the invaders. 
    Lovely stuff  :)
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    The invasion of the baby sparrows has started! They are just so funny and into everything I could sit and watch them for ever.
