    Morning all. Sunny here. Hello P Pam.

    We used to have swallows but they don't come any more. A wren and a redstart use their nests, but they've been falling off the wall, only one left, someone is relining it.

    Has anyone heard the cuckoo? It's been around for about a week.

    We are going to the after concert lunch today. I wanted a shower, but no hot water. We had a little power cut. When that happens the water heater turns itself off.

    When I think of it Lizzie, I don't think I've heard a cuckoo since we moved here.

    Are you sure Monty wasn't feeling a bit wobbly because of his health? He hasn't been quite the same since his stroke. It is a recorded programme and would have been examined before going out.

    Probably a good thing not to hear a cuckoo. Your little birds' babies will be safer than mine. It's just that it makes it feel like spring.

    Lizzie: FB was full of it the other day. Deffo sloshed.

    I'm going to have to rewatch that programme - mind you, I wasn't really paying attention to it - it was in the background while I was reading. image

    I hear cuckoos on the lower areas on the hills in spring BL - was lucky enough to see one last year when I was out. There's a few in the Arrochar area in particular.

    I thought of you yesterday as I drove through Killin - the road was totally snow free this time!  image

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

    Fairy, it's at the "reveal" of the garden in Twickenham . Not even a coherent sentence.

    As he left he said it'd win a gold medal at any flower show. That sealed it, deffo under the influence of something.

    Thank you for thinking of me, Fairy image. I've only been to Killin in summertime, but I remember your snowy photos. Visiting a brother in Scotland isn't very practical in winter! I don't go often anyway, it's so far, and now his son is in the spare room.

    It's  a really pretty place BL - and gets a lot of visitors because of it's location and the falls of course - they were pretty spectacular yesterday after all the rain and recent snow melt. At least  I wasn't in any danger of getting snowbound in the glen this time! I've only just changed that photo of the falls as my desktop pic to a more springlike one too. image
