KEF - I'll take your advice about bear but they don't seem to be doing it yet at Lidl.
My Mum's on about getting cards but as I won't be going next week I said ask your neighbour (who is a good friend to) take you. She says she can't because she'd be buying her card too Surely one card when I do get there would be OK
Decided against further gardening I think if I kneel down I won't get back up. Spent time on Google looking for any plant by the name of "little Ellen" that resembles anything in M's garden deffo not that hebe I posted yesterday still on a mission
Lesley LOL about cards, I had to take Mum to buy my B/day card and look the other way
I've done some bits outside as well - just a bit of weeding and pottering - while some pheasant legs are confit-ing. I'm doing a bit of a trial run for Pheasant two ways for when a friend and her hub come for a meal in a few weeks' time.
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Had to call it a day out there. Rain came on but pleased with what I've got done including first little bit of green manure sown. Grass cut, and more turf and clay lifted out and grit and gravel put down as the base for all the new paths. One bit will have to wait till the extension gets started but there's about another ten sq metres for me to prep just now and then I can get the new gravel down.
Lentil soup being made and might have that for my tea as one daughter at work and the other out with her friends to have something to eat. Peaceful just now
Love pheasant but would find it hard to eat now after having friendly ones at last house...
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
We eat lots of game. I usually pot-roast pheasant in good cider, with apples/quince stuffed inside the cavity. Any leftovers get turned into a pasty filling with some black pudding added.
Friendly ones Fairy ?? the buggers stamp over my plants and poop everywhere, when they arrive I try and run them off but they just run around the plants and laugh. Biggest laugh is from OH watching me.
We could hand feed them KEF. The females used to jump up on the window sills and tap on the windows
The neighbour across from us fed them and they nested and bred in his garden. Just visited us now and again and strolled around. Didn't cause any real issues for us as they had lots of rough scrubby areas and fields to muck about in.

Just in from a very productive days hand weeding. So satisfying to rediscover and rescue all my plants under the mat of sorrel. Lots more to go, but visible progress made at last.
bought my c-cards last week ( from a friend who runs a card business), going c-shopping tomorrow with my sisters, and making my c-cake and c-pudding next weekend. And yet today i was out in the garden all day in a t-shirt. Funny old year we're having

Colder would be good - but not this bad

I've often wondered if snake does taste like chicken
I'd be game to try that

As for partridge, I flash roast them on a high heat for about 30 mins then leave it to rest - this is the best recipe I know http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2007/nov/18/recipes.foodanddrink6 delicious
Tonight's we're having Confit pheasant legs and panfried pheasant breast with apple and black pudding, sweet potato mash and curly kale.
