After last nights storm today stayed very warm and dry.
Today not the day that was planned. Due to illness Jane and Colin were unable to visit, get well soon Janet.
My Gtech state of the art lawn mower failed to arrive as promised. To be fair they did ring me to advise.
With the annual visit for afternoon tea by the local Care in the Community group on Sunday I spent some of the day making room for fourteen guests to sit and creating an area for the wheelchairs and zimmer frames!
All about blackbirds today, a pair are busy nest building next door taking moss today from the lawn. Another pair are busy feeding young in our bay tree. The two pairs are nesting very very close to each other, unusual.
One of the young squirrels spent a lot of time ground feeding from spilt bird food, were two young but only seen this one for a couple of days now.
A wren is clearly nesting next door, not sure why our garden was abandoned this year for nesting?
Apart from a few kept back for replacing the transplanted sunflowers took somewhat of a battering last night in the storm. Not sure how many survived, most snapped. What were not snapped were chewed by snails, hundreds of the darn things.
Looking forward to helping out at the Whitfest later, helping to man the Whitley Museum pop up display. Has proved very popular this display, look forward to the day we are ready for the permanent exhibition.
