Morning all , just had breakfast listening to the rain , forecast all day , so no gardening today
Steve , love your New Bird Feeder , very impressive , got mine hanging under Hawthorn tree , give them a bit of protection , as we have Sparrow Hawks locally and they take the odd dove , pigeon and blackbird from the garden
The doves and pigeons sit on top of the fence by the Hawthorn tree where the feeders are and down it comes like a bolt out of the blue , quiet dramatic really !
If you are in the Garden and you notice it has gone quiet and all the little birds have disappeared you know the Hawks are about Such is nature
Spent a bit of time yesterday looking at OS map of the area where we're staying on holiday, and downloading and printing details of circular walks around there. Then of course we went on Google Earth and zoomed in on 'our' cottage Getting a bit excited now - holiday mid Sept
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.

We get the same here - we also get the peregrines that nest on the cathedral spire swooping down and taking the pigeons off our roof!

Lincoln and Derby Cathedrals have peregrines nesting there , one year Derby had a camera fitted so you could view them via there web site , just like Spring Watch
At the allotments we have Buzards flying around , not sure what they eat , have seen them being buzzed by rooks , so they where probably after the young in the nests
Oooh enjoy Sicily Lizzie - we had a wonderful (sunny) time in southern Italy earlier in the year. Hope Fidget makes it to Scamdinavia too (can't remember which country and daren't look back)
edit: Denmark .....loooved Copenhagen, especially Nyhaaven

Morning all.
OH went into town to top up on wine last night and came back with.......
a kebab!!!! 20 years we've been together and I've never once hinted I'd like a kebab. Made it perfectly clear I never want another one.
So much for pasta with chorizo , black olive and rocket which was on the menu.
More rain overnight and pretty grey.
OH heading " up country" later . Hope the drive isn't too hideous.
Enjoy BH Monday, those who have it off.

We are getting excited too, Dove, just downloaded our boarding passes for Sicily.
Hosta, I'd rather have kebab than Chorizo. Was that Doner or meat on a stick?
