My wedding anniversary!

Off out to the coast for a picnic bbq and its actually not raining!

Someone in the next street had put spare rhubarb plants outside for people to take. So Jane another rhubarb plant. Not entirely sure where I’ll put it yet, but love rhubarb.

[Nicos]

Lots of yummy rain!

Warm air and sitting watching and listening to the swallows and curlews

The strawberry plants I have in the gh are covered in flowers. Looks like I might get a decent crop this year as the outside ones are protected from squirrels by a decent frame and wire construction.

Gardens looking good after all the rain we've had.

Currently listening to rain on the shed roof and feeling happy that I'm warm and dry.

Watching a rather large hedgehog in the garden last night just as it was getting dark.

[Nicos]

Last night was too cold but we’ve had a few nights where we’ve heard both crickets from the field and frogs/ toads? from the nearby river calling out into the early hours.
Reminds me of foreign holidays with the family!

[Nicos]

Crickets and tawny owls galore this evening!

I'm finally moving house on Thursday! I'll be able to plant my potatoes and sweet peas! In the rain, probably, but I don't mind!

Seeing at least 15 bees on my Cotoneaster .

[Nicos]

Listening to the crickets and frogs/toads....and suddenly, just now, the frogs/toads have gone quiet.
Anyone know exactly what they might be?

[Nicos]

I’m just listening to the crickets and frogs again, but I’m actually also happy because earlier today the neighbouring farmer turned out 12 of his cows with their week old calves in the field behind our garden/ field.
So lovely watching the little uns frolicking around like lambs

Just seen one of these for the first time:

Never seen one before. Glad to see it because for some reason we have a lot of slugs as well as the usual gazillion snails. In another way, sad, as I presume the fact that it's this far north is an indication of climate change.
