Friday 1st July 2016

Breezy, warm, overcast, sunny, another mixed bag of weather.
Started this morning on preparing the ground for a path connecting to the alpine house. Next year this will also be landscaped to include a lawn, hopefully a wild flower meadow.
          Couple of moths today but not from the trap. One on a table and another on the greenhouse down pipe. No results from the trap at all this year.
Good to see the young great spotted again but not much else today.
          Got involved with another venture this afternoon, Mens Shed Whitley. The idea is anything you have that requires help or just to discuss this workshop is free and open the first Friday of every month. This afternoon was the first so was unsure how well it would be supported. Was pretty good for the first session. Three broken watches, two broken lawn mowers, two pairs of shoes and a stack of decking to cut! Watches we suggested trying the market place, mowers we suggested the tip, shoes we suggested swapping feet to even wear and the decking we suggested buying a saw! Well it's a start....
            Enjoyed a meal at Cote with Nigel and Lyn tonight. The idea was to start a discussion on what to do for our big birthday bash next year. A Cunard cruise or River trip are the options. Watch this space.
