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.
