Cubs

We have fox cubs at the allotment!

Today is the first day and start of our half term holidays and for once we are staying here.  No last minute packing and setting off for a different destination - that's not to say we haven't tried.  But everything seems so much more expensive this year.

No last minute deals and the thing that really annoys us more than anything is that the price of accommodation doubles if not triples for next week only...and then drops back down to a more reasonable price.  Well I'm sorry, but families have it hard enough with all the rules and regulations about when we can and can't go on holiday so if you feel you're justified in making it even harder for us then you can forget it.

Sorry for the rant!  Start with a positive, negative in the middle and end on a positive.

We have fox cubs at the allotment.....yay!

I've got a stack of pictures I need to go through and I'll post a heap of them next week for you.

The weekend begins here for us folks so I'll wish you a happy one and see you next week.

Have fun.

Jay

Perched on the old swing a British Jay bird smashing snails that have ventured out during the day, with the dampness of the pounding rain. 

Not an every day sight, but a welcomed one - apart from the snail eating part! - whilst I drank my morning cuppa and observed the garden twitterings.  

Time has taught me that a camera well placed, within arms reach near the back door to be easily grabbed,  for spying on and snapping the more shy of birds.
