Quick conversions

28C reverses to give 82F.

Never reaches those sorts of temps up here unless we forget to open the inlaws' polytunnel.

The snow has now cleared around us, a few patches left but it is still threatening us.

I think I may make a bird table with the post.

you won't get much seed on top of 3"x3" Andrew Only joking as usual. Excellent Idea, it was on Rad4 this morning that the population of Goldfinches have risen and it's due to people putting bird seed out - little sods never come to mine !!! I've had a fat ball out for ages & it's unpecked

NTG, you surprise me. birds normally go nuts for Fat Balls. Last year we were putting out 3 balls a day.

I think one of the problems is I live close to 200 acres of mixed woodlands, and they have plenty of food there. I actually took the seed feeders fown earlier on so I could bout them to soak and get the old seed out that had gawn orff as they say south of watford. My friend (yes I do have one) is like you and gets through loads of fat balls & about 10lb of seed a week and had something like 40 species when he did the bird survey earlier on last month. I had about 4 !!! Makes you want to spit doesn't it.

I'm going to make it so the post is fixed and I can use to net my fruit and then notch so I can put a board on top in winter to feed them.

Like so, leaving the post roughly 4' high.
