A Few Winter Jobs
With livestock however comes a few responsibilities which can’t be escaped and our chicken pen has become due a good clean out, so we did venture out briefly to tackle that today.
Woody’s Welcome Return
We were also very pleased to see the return of a Great Spotted Woodpecker to our peanut feeder this morning too. Coincidentally it was only a couple of days ago we were discussing the fact we hadn’t seen him in a while.
This is superb.
I just came across this on the internet and thought I would share it with you. I think this is so talented.
Frosty Frustrations
Myself and Chelle have had some great winter walks on crisp frozen mornings and some very pleasant evenings in front of the fire too. The weather just feels kind of ‘right’ for January.
Big Garden Bird Watch
Why not take a look. We will be taking part in Smithy Brook.
Wintry Day up t’North
It’s always surprising how quickly the world changes when it disappears under a layer of snow.
New Years Eve Pizza The Action
Once the oven reached temperature it was a quick job to roll out our pizza bases and spread them with our toppings. 10-15 minutes later we were sat eating our first meal of wood fired pizza. Delightful.
No Flat Hedgehog’s Anymore
Whilst I was sat there I found myself chatting to Bruce the Spruce about something that’s kept tugging at my mind recently, which is, where are all the flat hedgehogs?
Summer Evening Bee Jobs
After gathering everything I needed together I got myself settled on the picnic bench under the apple tree and spent a lovely couple of hours working in the company of my buddy Samson.
What do you do with red currants?
It’s that time of year again where we start to get a substantial harvest of red currants. As usual I’m looking for ways to use them all rather than just making enough red currant jelly to supply the whole town.
