I planted a Myrtle in the spring. I didn't expect flowers this year, and they're supposed to flower in August, so I had accepted that I'd have to wait until next year. But today, this . There are more buds too. Delightful.
'If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need.'
I remember watching one in a previous garden, industriously taking a peanut from the feeder, and going and 'burying' it in the lawn [or what passed for lawn there - moss]. He spent ages doing it. Every move he made was watched by a magpie, who just followed him round and retrieved each peanut. I felt quite sorry for him

Just pottering around on the terrace and watching the end of the tour du 🇫🇷..... nice quiet afternoon before the craziness of the coming week... found out on Tuesday that I got a promotion I interviewed for in March before the lockdown, honestly thought it was a closed subject as we are having such a horrible year, but he ho... told on Tuesday, effective tomorrow! Happy and terrified at the same time😁😳
Marne la vallée, basically just outside Paris 🇫🇷, but definitely Scottish at heart.
Squirrels and magpies. I saw something similar on You’ve Been Framed. A little girl was in an Easter Egg Hunt and was dutifully putting her bounty in a trug-like basket which half fell behind her back. None too surreptitiously her younger sister was following her round and assiduously taking out for herself every egg deposited in the basket.

What if we could train them to plant spring bulbs?
