When the sunshines, things start to happen in the garden!

Absolutely beautiful view, that's what to me makes life worth living for, I love your garden. Enjoyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy, I got my glass.... down the secret garden I go :)))))) to sit on my bench :))))))))))))) haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa....love it love it love it. Have a great afternoon Barbara xx :)))

Gorgeous garden. Good shots of the baby cuckoo - I do hope it's OK

It just looks so different in the sun...and the scents come out....barbie tonight!

No Barbie but had a picnic out there at lunch time so it was all good Pamg.

I hope it is ok, it is sat in a Christmas tree just now shouting for food Sheilar.

Thanks Michaella life is definitely worth living on days like today. Enjoy your glass of whatever you have in it. I only had a cuppa with my lunch but sounds like a good idea to get a bottle cracked open. Thank you for your comments. I am really enjoying myself, hope this weather holds for a few more days for everyone to enjoy their gardens too. B :o)

thats fantastic OO, i have never seen a baby cuckoo before, brilliant pictures and your garden looks stunning

Olive your garden looks fabulous, I could stand and admire that view for hours, I`ve never seen a baby cuckoo before, ugly little thing isn`t it but there is as always a cuteness about it as with all babies, the poor sparrow must be getting worn out keeping up with the feeding.
Its windy here today but bright sunshine, meals eaten on the patio, thats two days in a row, might be a new record, lol....

It does lift the spirit when the Sun comes out Barbara, we're enjoying the Sunshine too, for a change, make the most of it while we all can...
Gorgeous pics....

Humph! ;)

I think your daughter is in the huff with you Olive Oil...in fact, make that two of us ;)))
Your garden is stunning!!!! I've never seen a baby cuckoo either - thank you for showing these pictures :)

Scottish thank you - sorry I made you in a huff but glad you like the pictures.:O)

He does look like he is saying Humph! Karen, lol. I am hoping he survives, we found some grubs and put them on a tray for him/her it helped itself to one. lol. It is still in the garden somewhere I can hear it shouting out. lol. poor sparrow trying to keep up with that ones feeds.:O)

Certainly lifted my spirits today Crissue first time I have been able to get out there for days and days, lovely weather. thanks for your comments Crissue x :O)

Sticki the blackbirds thought it was a sparrowhawk, they kept mobbing it. lol. :O) I have only seen one before in the wood. glad you enjoyed the pictures.

Lincslass, It just sat there in the sunshine and just let me walk around it and take its pictures. I am just hoping for it to survive. glad you like my garden it is strange how the sunshine makes you see it differently. I have had such a good day. :O)

Your gardens is looking glorious Olive and how fantastic to see a baby Cuckoo, poor foster Mum will have a busy time feeding that one lol

Thank you pansy, yes she was very busy poor bird. Fancy having to feed a baby as big as that. Just not on! lol :O)

Wow - what a beautiful garden! And those trees!

Well this is the second time this month that we have had to cancel a trip to Edinburgh because of the b****y weather. Going to be pouring all day again tomorrow on Scott's public holiday. :( :( :(. I love the Cuckoo though....we don't get Cuckoos up here....oh, now, I wonder why? I'm telling you....if we didn't have a business to run, we would both be selling up and moving. Still, there are a lot of people worse off than us. Try to stay positive.... Humph!

Er, what sun would that be.............? Possibly wasn't raining, but as I was at work all weekend and the weather wasn't that spectacular when I got out, haven't really noticed any difference. Jx

Lovely pics and I hope he makes it!

Poor Karen :-( I'm still living in hope - most of our rain was during the night and it was sunny for most of today - windy, though and interspersed with cloud. Oh dear - I am becoming obsessed - I sound like a weather forecaster.

Melchisedec - it is an 80 acre piece of woodland which more or less wraps itself around us, it is beautiful but takes a lot of light away from the garden, makes plants grow taller as they reach for the light. lol. I would not swap it for anything. We are so lucky. Don't worry about the weather, it will change eventually. Possibly we shall get a milder winter which would be good after the two really bad ones we have had.

Karen at least we are not stood knee deep in sludge and mud after the rivers burst their banks. We are a lot better off than some of those poor people who are still clearing up the flood water. Weather will change it has got to, it cannot keep on raining. You will get to Edinburgh eventually, fingers crossed, have a good public holiday anyway. Go for a walk down on the beach and make the most of whatever the weather throws at you. The water always stops when it gets to the skin (Paul always says that)

Sorry Jane that you didn't get any sunshine. I am lucky not to be working, that is apart from in the garden and that is all good.

Wildrose he was ok last night, not been out there this morning yet.

Thanks for looking everyone. :O)

Lovely garden ..........I have never seen a cuckoo before he isn't the prettiest baby I've seen but his "mum" obviously thinks he's lovely.........hope he makes it through :o))

We have trees just over the wall - they are a mixed blessing, as you say, but I love them!

Lovely garden Olive Oil, goes in my faves along with your massive cuckoo fledgling. What a capture with your camera. It still has to fly off somewhere a long way off too. Lovely weather we had Saturday sun all day, and did too much. Yesterday I just read my Kindle a lot under the sun umbrella.

lol..."the water always stops at the skin"...that sounds just like Paul! Nice one. I'm busy cooking now for a friend who is struggling alone with two toddlers under 4! What a task that is, poor guy. If anyone deserves chocolate cake....;)

Niverdeen - I agree but they have their appeal the feathers are amazing how they are marked, hope he is ok not seen him since.

Melchi - yes they are a pain when I have to clear up all the fallen leaves in Autumn, but they are worth it in a summertime. lol.

Dorjac - thank you I have never been this close to a baby bird of any kind, it just sat and let me walk around it and take pictures, quite a show off really. Glad you got some sunshine too. :o)

Karen hope he is ok. things are not improving for him are they? It must be such hard work - he certainly deserves a chocolate cake. Hope he enjoys it, the kids will I can see them munching away as I write. lol. :O)
