    Those look like Polka to me @Biglad 😋

    They're the ones daughter bought to decorate the cake  :D 
    That's a poor show isn't it? I live in a country that produces some of the best raspberries in the world - and I don't grow them  :D
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



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

    I should have some Polka in about a year @Fairygirl @Dovefromabove ;)

    I actually thought about getting some earlier this year, but I don't have a suitable place for them. Perthshire is fruit growing country up here. They produce a lot there - different climate from this side.

    Morning all - afternoon @Pat E and congratulations!  Thanks for the beautiful birdsong, which has brightened up this morning.  Hubby and I were wondering what the melodious bird in the foreground is?  

    Hubby has just introduced me to the word "forslothing", a 13th century term for spending the day fannying about.  Might use that today, given the weather and the fact that from midnight the whole of Ireland is locked down again for 6 weeks...

    Very best wishes to @Hostafan1 for today.

    That's a hellish long time @Liriodendron. They never talk about Ireland on the news, only NI. Not that I watch it very often nowadays. Will you both be ok for everything?

    I like forslothing, but I prefer fannying about. I'm equally good at both anyway  :D

    @Liriodendron ... this is the bird ... Pat posted the pic the other day and by some fluke I managed to ID it

    Liri, Dove identified the bird for us a couple of days ago. That’s why I tried to catch his song for her. 😃

    Thank you @Pat E and @Dovefromabove.  Lovely...

    We should be fine, thanks @Fairygirl.  We get deliveries from a local supermarket once a fortnight, and I can get hubby's medicines for him, & shop locally for fruit and veg etc the other week.  We're restricted to 5km from home but hubby has found some circular walks of a few miles which don't go further than that from the house, so he won't go completely potty from being confined to barracks.  I'll go on some of his walks, but get a lot of exercise from the garden...   :)
