Just read that piece Dove's friend wrote about her lovely cat. Have no idea how she managed to write it - I could hardly read it for the tears welling. But funny as well as sad and something I'm sure every pet owner can relate too.
I'm sorry P'doc is having a rough time - NDN's can be a real PITA. We moved 'cos we got so fed up with the petty run-ins with one set where we used to live (similar set up to Doc's with a small community rather dependent on everyone doing their bit and considering the needs of others). Not an easy situation to handle....
Glad you had a nice bike ride Chicky
Heaven is ... sitting in the garden with a G&T and a cat while watching the sun go down
Where I'm doing the C in Need walk next weekend (Pentland Hills) there are Merlins. I've seen them before but not taken much notice because I always assumed they were just bog standard hawks of some kind - usually too far away. They'd put new signage up so I took note a few weeks ago, and half an hour later - I spotted one. Could see right away the wings were totally different. Beautiful birds, and lovely pic Hosta
RB - 'nippy sweetie' can mean almost anything you want....'boot' is a favourite... other four letter words are also available...
Been right busy outside although it looks as though I haven't done much. Sorted my front gate - had to take it apart - as it had swollen a bit. Weeded my rear fence window box and added some compost, pruned and deadheaded a few things (not my finger this time though) and planted my Fatsia into the ground, after a recent thread about chlorosis, after painting that side of the shed first. Required a pickaxe and loppers for all the tree roots
Feel a bit weary now, and there's ironing...
I'll have a cuppa and a catch up with all your doings first
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
I don't know if anyone's watching Countryfile. Just watching that young girl who's going to do a mountain walk with Matt made me feel very humble. There was a piece about a young Scottish lad recently too - he has severe brittle bone disease. I'll be thinking of all the people like them when I walk next weekend, and thanking all of you who are so generously sponsoring me. Bless you all

Just impossible to keep up on here!
Lily my panawotsit did zilch this year , far worse than last!
Had a full afternoon in the garden.
Clearing mainly.
Lots of hoeing too - just so the soil looks nice!
Attempt at winter pots.
Space made for bulbs - so so impatient to plant tulips early but I resisted!
Roast chicken about done so saying bye for now....

Yes ... think they're on the Amber list ... I've never seen one ... very jealous here.
Look them up on the RSPB website.
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
tsk, I wish I'd paid more attention. Why do you think it was just , kinda , bobbin' about?
Might have been tired - some of them nest up north then fly down to the south-west for the winter.

it was certainly a bit dosey. It let me walk right up to it and take the photo.
no sign of him to-day.

Been getting more pallet planks today and cardboard for the allotment plot, then just been out in garden putting shelter down before bad weather
