After an hour’s digging this morning, it was time to hit the sales in Leeds. Well, to get a new kettle, to be precise. This gave me the opportunity to have a wander through the sustainability garden at work, which seems very fruitful for the time of year.
I was a little surprised to see there were still raspberries on the canes. That said, when I tried them I could see why they were uneaten. Notwithstanding, seeing the arrangement gave me food for thought.
I wonder though if the flock of pigeons on a roof
further along the road had any notion that there might be something in the garden for them. What were they all doing there, anyway?
Whatever the answer is, we were tickled by the sight of them. At home, the pigeons also continue to give me such pleasure, as they perch in the leylandii two doors down. The blackbirds, too, have caused some amusement as they hang around in the hope of finding worms in my excavations. Sadly, I couldn’t get any photos of my own feathered friends.
Our birds are mostly eschewing the crab apples. This year they can afford to be choosy
What else are they eating? There are so many berries round here but the rowan and cotoneaster in the vicinity have been picked bare.
It’s hard to tell what they are eating. There really don’t seem to be many about – but there are lots of magpies
Yes, we have magpies, too!
Hope you had a wonderful Christmas and wishing you all the best for 2019 x
Thank you, Kathryn. I hope you’ve enjoyed the festive period and best wishes to you and family for the forthcoming year x
