I have a gorgeous cream one Shirley right at the back of the shrub border and can't get to it. At the moment the hydrangeas aren't in leaf so can see it.

I have always used sunflower hearts Shirley. On the plus side the blue tits and a great tit are back.

 

Lovely photos Hywel, and yes, it’s great to have sunshine and blue sky again. Good for our drive down to Poole today to meet my brother too 🙂.

 

Such a beautiful place for a wander on a sunny day.

 

Sorry to hear about about your injury and the frustration you feel about the scaffolding. It helps to share all these woes rather than keeping them all to yourself.

 

Gorgeous.

Still such a pretty scene.

Lovely that you have Goldfinches Shirley. I love the Goldfinches. We get one visiting the garden sometimes. My neighbour across the road gets several Goldfinches visiting most days. I saw a Wren for the first time in ages, and she was pecking at the moss growing along the bottom of the garage.

 

A lovely Hebe to have in the garden. I used to have one in a pot for years. I must get another one now I've seen your photo...thanks.

 

glad you had a lovely day out and thank you for 'taking' me too.
we had dull damp weather today so not very pleasant out here.

 

Hi Feverfew, I've started to hoe around the flowerbeds as the soil is compacted after all the rain, but I am being careful where the bulbs are coming through now.

Yes Karen, and we are supposed to have a cold snap at the end of February.

That’s a very pretty Hebe Shirley.

 

Josie, I'm looking forward to the survey findings. I miss the Blackbirds we used to have in our garden. As I've often said over the past two years, since the new neighbours hacked so much down we don't see the Blackbirds very often now ... :o((

 

Oh that's a real shame Karen. I just viewed it on-line, a beauty. Still, the D. Bholua is thriving.

 

Did I? That must have been a while ago! Just think of all the lovely new plants, trees and shrubs you now have though Karen ... :o)

Thank you Bernie, I enjoyed the saunter around those beautiful gardens with you. Roll on summer here. It’s been awfully cold.

 

How lovely these look. We have magpies that visit our ground level birdbaths and purposefully put bread in them to soak. They leave it about 1/2 hour and come back, fish it out to eat.!!

The colours are really singing out though..lovely to see

Well it’s Feb now & I hope things get better for you, especially your tendon. These things take time. As for the scaffolding, it always stays up far longer than you want. I hope the Daffs etc recover too, when they eventually see the light

 

Lovely crisp winters day!

Well well…look at that. It’s loving being outside!
