    Lovely  jubbly KEF!   image image

    Been out doing a bit of this and that too as the rain seems to have decided to stay away. Weirdly warm and lots of little insects and flies up in the conifer.

    The robins were coming over to see what I was up to, so I'm having a cuppa to let them get on with their food  image

    Would like to do something with the grass but it's too early. If I feed it or anything, it'll grow like mad then rain for a month, and I'll need to bring home a little pony from work...image

    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



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

    KEFimage.  Flumpy you'd have to be very, very brave to wear themimage.  Glad you are safe in your home againimage.

    The big birds are visiting us more frequently.  The rooks and jackdaws even grab onto the fat feeder and peck half way through itimage.  I may have to ask Fairy for her 'cage' designimage.

    Not quite as springlike as you have got it down there but I have seen the midges dancing outside the windowimage. Butterflies and bees are far nicer to see.

    Enjoy the rugby if you're watching this afternoonimage.  I'm sorting out my windowsill 'nursery' and writing out instructions.

    Lizzie you're obviously not as clumsy as me.  I'd prepare the veg and then clean the floorimage.  Cooking for 11 is quite an undertaking - what are you having?

    Love the brave pants, KEF!  Will you be wearing them now Flumpy's spider is no more?  image

    A happy afternoon in the garden here.  I actually had to remove a layer of clothing cos it was warmer than I thought!  Got rid of a lot of dead autumn foliage and moss, cut down the buddleja which is growing in the wrong place, and made the robins very happy - just like yours, Fairy.  image

    Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.

    Afternoon all. 

    What a chatty bunch over the last 24 hours( even some of it made no sense to me whatsoever). 

    Just had a friend round for a lovely lunch .

    Some "neighbours" popped into speak to me about my tunnels. They've passed many times and always wanted to pop in .

    They saw me in the garden so thought they'd come in . Nice folk .

    Devon.

    I got a lot done too Liri - mainly top dressing borders,  moving a few little things, and same as you - removing messy stuff.  Dennis and Mrs Dennis were having a lovely time, skitting in and out and drinking from the pond.  Very pleasant - I can almost believe we might get spring at the right time!  

    Washing almost dry too.  image
