Monday Monday

Gosh I haven't blogged for so many days - not sure where they keep disappearing to!

The highlight of my  morning was seeing a red squirrel running across my driveway from the garden (and I am guessing the bird feeder with nuts), up onto the bins and then the hedge.  Unfortunately I didn't have my camera handy, but it was so exciting to see it.  Nice to know that we have them in our location.


Next highlight was spotting a little toad whilst I was trimming one of the hedges near the pond.  First toad I have seen here as well.



I forgot to take a before photo, but there were branches sticking up all over the rounded bush.


Much neater now.  I also found an old brass fountain underneath it.  I will have to clean it up and see if it works.


I decided to tidy up this area at the front of the decking.


After getting that prickly busy tangled up in my hair, which took some getting out I eventually managed to get rid of it and dug it over as best as I could.  The ground is still very hard as we have had very little rain.





Some more water lilies.



Love watching the wildlife.



Some photos from Sunday's walk below:


It rained in the morning (15 mm) but the sun came out in the afternoon, so took the opportunity to go for a nice walk.  There were others who had the same idea.








Today's walk:


Through the woods.


Down to the beach.


A seat to sit a while


to take in the view, and the sound of the sea.
