Does anyone actually have any idea what course to take @punkdoc? I've been feeling lately that no one really knows what to do to get the better of this thing
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Grey and drizzly outside. I don't feel motivated to do anything much. Missing OH. Fed up with going to the bins. But I have Sunday to look forward to as I'm going to lunch with Son 2 in their new house in the country and Daughter 1 and family will be there too.
Zoom won't connect to my Laptop so if I go to a Zoom meeting no one can hear me. OH bought me a microphone and fiddled with my Laptop before he left, but to no avail.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Love the stone @chicky. I rather think Tennyson's view would have been with a lot cleaner and clearer atmosphere.
Yesterday evening the Vendée prefecture announced that face coverings must be worn even in the streets in La Roche and Aizenay. Two weeks of school half term hols start on Friday and I do wonder what that will do as grandparents usually look after them while parents work. That includes a few of my patch ladies. I hope your zoom meetings prove effective @punkdoc.
Dry day expected today. We have blue bits and high cirrhus to the south and silver and grey high cloud to the east.
Good luck training Dave @Fairygirl. Hope you get some rain @Pat E.
Greetings to all Forkers and hope it's a lovely day for you wherever you are.
Vendée - 20kms from Atlantic coast.

I love a warble @Pat E even if it is from a a Black Redstart and they have a very reedy warble! My daughters OH's parents were wondering why they hadn't heard any noise coming from a nest box on their house wall this year, one of their sons climbed up to find old Christmas cards stuffed in there to stop the birds nesting, apparently the neighbours are always borrowing a ladder for things so they can only assume that they came round and stuffed it because they don't like birds, what cheek eh!
How horrible @floralies. Is there any chance we can have a word with @Pat E's magpie, and 'my' Dave, and see if we can do a 'Hitchcock's The Birds' on them?.... I committed the major offence of making my hair appointment for half ten @Dovefromabove, so I'll have to catch Popmaster later. I know, I know. Hopeless tart. Don't tell me any answers.... Had a walk there, and a different route back, but I've only done about half of what I normally do, so I might go out again later. Some lovely colours going on in gardens, mainly from Acers. The dark ones are all colouring up now. I'm very nosy, and can't resist having a wee peek.

I quite agree @Dovefromabove, they are obviously folk who don't give a fig for gardening and wildlife, whereas the parents love their garden and nest boxes, it gives them a lot of pleasure as they are in their late eighties and in poor health.

Lovely photos, @chicky and @steephill, thank you.

Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.

I think they’re also breaking the law if the birds have started nesting and they try to prevent it.
