The other day when I was out in the garden I thought I heard a buzzard mewing overhead; couldn't see anything but ............ I just heard it again ............
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Love the sound of buzzards mewing. We have a huge field at the back of us which creates thermals so we get mum and dad teaching their young how to use them. Lovely sights and sounds.

We used to only see/hear them when we were over in the west country or Wales or the Peaks etc, but now I see them quite often when heading down through East Suffolk and now it looks as if there's some around here too

I did have a sit down with my cuppa, but now need to get the bed made with all the clean and aired bedding that I had on the clothes line all day in the sun. HRH might be a bit confused tonight because I managed to take the cover off her bedding and washed it and aired the bedding. Have put it all back together, but there'll be lots of scratching and rearranging the lost contours tonight. Always good for a laugh. Talk about the Princess and the Pea!
We get them here regularly too. Even when it's cloudy and you can't see them - you can hear them. They hang around the little NT garden and the fields nearby and often drift over. The crows get very hacked off with them. They're a really common sight along the bypass too, which cuts through farmland. There's usually one or two there sitting on the lamp posts when I leave work
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
So, here I am, sat at my own dining table, in my own little house enjoying breakfast, coffee and catching up on the days news on the computer in perfect peace and harmony (well Charlie has discovered Talking Books so the dulcet tones of Stephen Fry reading Harry Potter are echoing slightly away in the background) but so happy at last to not be dashing off to work somewhere or other.
Didn't think it was ever going to happen, the last few weeks have been incredibly difficult, physically and emotionally, so many complications and hurdles to overcome, I'm pretty sure there will be more to come too, but for now I have a day off (a whole one) and I am going to potter around cleaning my little house, cook a proper dinner and I might just spend the rest of it sitting in the garden.
WW, congratulations on your new job, how lovely.
Clari too, but make sure you stick to it.
Pat, find it so quirky reading all your news about seasons upside down and opposite to us, we are clinging on to last days of summer and there you are waiting expectantly for spring.
Obelix - you sound very organised for the move, I think it is so important to get the prep done first, so much easier on the actual day then.
Fairy, shame you have to work a BH Do you get another day off instead or is it not a BH in Scotland?
I know I have missed loads of news over the last few weeks, if there is any absolutely juicy gossip I should know about can someone please update me, would hate to have missed anything life changing.
And hopefully now this mad, bizarre crazy summer for me is over and I can calmly and quietly plan a new life for me and Charlie over the next few months- and keep up to date on GW coming's and goings.
Have a good day everybody.

Here's our current wood supply (on our mobile wood heaps).
Good morning all,
