A mild day but from 5.30pm it was so different. Heavy rain and wind. As I type this blog at 9.30pm it is as bad. Lost for words on this years late spring weather conditions!
                  Quality day in the garden, weeding, tying in Tomatoes, trimming Stinging Nettle border and Pond Dipping.
Margaret and Paul are staying with us next week so was anxious to tidy up to show off a bit!
                      Spotted a Coal Tit on the feeder (screwed up on the photograph) this morning. Not seen one before so pretty pleased with this sighting.
Interesting to note Mummy Woody showing young the insects on the Silver Birch Tree, they were climbing the tree just like a Tree Creeper!
Jay spent all day non stop feeding the young with Monkey Nuts. Nest in a tree over the road but hopefully will see the joung in the garden once fledged.
