Spring at last!

Lovely warm Wednesday afternoon, 2nd May, and Spring is here at last!

But who's that running across the field?

 It's my mate Hans!

Time for a tumble I think...

...up and over...

...phew...tumbling is warm work today... time to go home for drink!

Twisted Ivy

Dad's been carving some crazy spoons out of a piece of twisted Ivy.

Not very practical but quite arty don't you think...

Luckily I don't need a spoon to eat my food!

Ernie waits...

Poor old Ernie, he's such a worry-wart!

When Indigo goes out and leaves him he likes to keep a look-out

in case she's coming back soon.

Hey Erns... I like the way you're leaning on the back of the sofa there.

Me, I can't see what the fuss is about. Just settle down mate - chill!

Knitting Circle

Edan is back from college for Easter and our friend Ani came round today

to teach him how to knit!

He did quite well, but couldn't resist a cuddle...

Birthday Boy!

I'm two today!

One year older and one year better behaved...

just as long as Dad holds that treat up there by the camera...

Hey I can't wait any longer... I'm gonna get that treat now!

Happy Birthday Bert  ~ but I just brushed you!  Dad x

Poor Redpoll...

There was a thump on the kitchen door this afternoon, we all looked out to find this poor dead Redpoll.

They have been visiting the niger seed feeder since the last snowfall, pushing off the Goldfinches that usually hog the feeder.

This one was obviously panicked by something and flew the wrong way.

Don't worry, Dad says that's not blood but the beautiful red feathers they have on their heads.

R.I.P Redpoll

Bookends 2

Here we are - 11.15pm Friday evening, just having a stretch.

Is it time to go to bed?
