Friday

A quiet walk before lunch today.

Nature seen:


Cormorant


Bee on Teasel


This bee was alive, but not sure for how long.  Sorry out of focus!


A Cinnabar Moth caterpillar

Total walked:  4 miles

In the garden today:


I moved the bird feeder to the front in the hope that I might get more birds after seeing how many the people across the road have on theirs.  This way if we do get bird life I am more likely to see it than just from the kitchen window when it was out the back.  Hoping so anyway.



Gorgeous rose.

I did some strimming of the long grass and weeds in the orchard today and dug up some potatoes and beetroot.   I was a bit disappointed when I cooked the potatoes yesterday - they looked lovely, but they just seem to crumble up into nothing.  I thought the first time it happened it was because I boiled them too long, but I know that wasn't the case yesterday.

More beans also picked and also chard.

I'm a bit worried about how dry the ground is.  

Large cracks are appearing in the garden, front and back.
